If you plan to use Django's ``manage.py syncdb`` command to
automatically create database tables for your models, you'll need to
ensure that Django has permission to create and alter tables in the
database you're using; if you plan to manually create the tables, you
can simply grant Django ``SELECT``, ``INSERT``, ``UPDATE`` and
``DELETE`` permissions. On some databases, Django will need
``ALTER TABLE`` privileges during ``syncdb`` but won't issue
``ALTER TABLE`` statements on a table once ``syncdb`` has created it.
If you plan to use Django's ``manage.py syncdb`` command to automatically
create database tables for your models (after first installing Django and
creating a project), you'll need to ensure that Django has permission to create
and alter tables in the database you're using; if you plan to manually create
the tables, you can simply grant Django ``SELECT``, ``INSERT``, ``UPDATE`` and
``DELETE`` permissions. On some databases, Django will need ``ALTER TABLE``
privileges during ``syncdb`` but won't issue ``ALTER TABLE`` statements on a
table once ``syncdb`` has created it. After creating a database user with these
permissions, you'll specify the details in your project's settings file,
see :setting:`DATABASES` for details.
If you're using Django's :doc:`testing framework</topics/testing>` to test
database queries, Django will need permission to create a test database.
