 For a development environment -- if you just want to experiment with Django --
 you don't need to have a separate Web server installed; Django comes with its
 own lightweight development server. For a production environment, Django follows
 the WSGI spec, :pep:`3333`, which means it can run on a variety of server

 PostgreSQL fans, and MySQL_, `SQLite 3`_, and Oracle_ are also supported.

 How do I add database-specific options to my CREATE TABLE statements, such as specifying MyISAM as the table type?
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 We try to avoid adding special cases in the Django code to accommodate all the
 database-specific options such as table type, etc. If you'd like to use any of
-these options, create an :ref:`SQL initial data file <initial-sql>` that
+these options, create a migration with a

 For example, if you're using MySQL and want your tables to use the MyISAM table
-type, create an initial data file and put something like this in it::
+type, use the following SQL::
 
     ALTER TABLE myapp_mytable ENGINE=MyISAM;

-Why is Django leaking memory?
------------------------------
-
-Django isn't known to leak memory. If you find your Django processes are
-allocating more and more memory, with no sign of releasing it, check to make
-sure your :setting:`DEBUG` setting is set to ``False``. If :setting:`DEBUG`
-is ``True``, then Django saves a copy of every SQL statement it has executed.
-
-(The queries are saved in ``django.db.connection.queries``. See
-:ref:`faq-see-raw-sql-queries`.)
-
-To fix the problem, set :setting:`DEBUG` to ``False``.
-
-If you need to clear the query list manually at any point in your functions,
-just call ``reset_queries()``, like this::
-
-    from django import db
-    db.reset_queries()
