The other posters in this thread do give nice solutions. I just
extracted the minimum needed to create a testing DB in memory using
sqlite. This is what I have:
----- cut here -----
import os
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE']='MYSITE.settings'
def createdb():
from django import db
from django.conf import settings
settings.DATABASE_ENGINE = "sqlite3"
settings.DATABASE_NAME = ":memory:"
reload(db)
from django.core.management import syncdb
from django.dispatch import dispatcher
from django.dispatch.errors import DispatcherKeyError
from django.contrib.auth.management import create_superuser
from django.contrib.auth import models as auth_app
from django.db.models import signals
db.connection.close()
# disable the "create a super user" question
try:
dispatcher.disconnect(create_superuser, sender=auth_app,
signal=signals.post_syncdb)
except DispatcherKeyError:
# This must be run only once per session
pass
syncdb()
----- cut here -----
This presumes that MYSITE is in sys.path. I find that using nosetest
(http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/) from the
directory below MYSITE works pretty well, since it takes care of
sys.path.
Another comment: The placement of from django import db, and
reload(db) seems to be critical. The django.db module needs to be
imported before django.settings, and has to be reloaded after changing
settings.DATABASE_ENGINE. If you were already using sqlite I guess
that's not a problem.
