If the above are true, then why can't the same code that creates the testdb also create the db if it doesn't exist, and that would be the logical place to hook any post-create-db code such as user-defined data types etc? This would/could also nullify some questions that new users have when they get tangled up at the syncdb point of the tutorial if they have not granted their usercode (from settings) access to the db.
