Fred posted about how to trick the ORM into creating these tables for you. For what it's worth, if I were in this situation I would not try to flip `managed` to `True` during testing for these tables. In production these tables have a fixed known schema, they are not created by the Django ORM. I'd prefer to replicate that situation in testing as well, so that my tests would catch a mis-match between my ORM models for the legacy tables and the actual schema of the tables. So the approach I'd take instead would be to bypass the ORM entirely when creating these tables. Instead create a SQL file with the DDL for the exact schema of the real legacy tables, and then hook into the test runner to run that SQL file directly against your test database. Specifically, I think in a subclass of DiscoverRunner you could override the `setup_databases` method and run your SQL immediately after that. (Note that I haven't actually done this, so there may be caveats I haven't anticipated. If you want a battle-tested solution, you might prefer Fred's. But if I was in your situation, I would first try to get a solution working that doesn't have the ORM create these tables for testing.)
