Using another ``settings`` module
---------------------------------
The included settings module allows you to run the test suite using
SQLite. If you want to test behavior using a different database (and
if you're proposing patches for Django, it's a good idea to test
across databases), you may need to define your own settings file.
The included settings module (``tests/test_sqlite.py``) allows you to run the
test suite using SQLite. If you want to run the tests using a different
database, you'll need to define your own settings file. Some tests, such as
those for ``contrib.postgres``, are specific to a particular database backend
and will be skipped if run with a different backend.
To run the tests with different settings, ensure that the module is on your
``PYTHONPATH`` and pass the module with ``--settings``.
