Hi,

Maybe it's a stupid issue but I think the error message is not clear or I am
missing something about the dummy db.backend. Why if you set an error
database backend the error message is the next one?
Try using django.db.backends.XXX, where XXX is one of:
    'dummy', 'mysql', 'oracle', 'postgresql', 'postgresql_psycopg2',
'sqlite3'

If a user sets the dummy one it will get stucked with messages like this
(and will ask help on the django-users list :P):
Error: Django doesn't know which syntax to use for your SQL statements,
because you haven't specified the ENGINE setting for the database.
Edit your settings file and change DATBASES['default']['ENGINE'] to
something like
'django.db.backends.postgresql' or 'django.db.backends.mysql'.

Shouldn't the first error just tell you:
Try using django.db.backends.XXX, where XXX is one of:
    'mysql', 'oracle', 'postgresql', 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'sqlite3'

(not dummy)

Just because users (new ones) can expect that the dummy backend is a correct
one. And as I've been looking onto the code it's just used when no backend
is setted. Just to don't give people an incorrect message.

Thanks,
