-------------------------------+-------------------------
For version 1.4 and dev documentation on multiple databases the text seems
to imply that you can choose not to define a "default" db
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/db/multi-db/#defining-your-
databases
"""
... Django uses the database with the alias of default when no other
database has been selected. If you don’t have a default database, you need
to be careful to always specify the database that you want to use.
"""
However, when you actually remove, or do not include a "default" and
attempt to syncdb with Postgresql, you get the following error that
explicitly tells you, that you *must* define a "default" database:
>python manage.py syncdb
