Scenario

• Django 1.9 application with two databases:
  • Legacy database with readonly access via unmanaged models. Both Django models (models.py) and related migrations have "managed" set to False
    • 'managed': False
  • Default database holding django specific tables (e.g. auth_user, django_content_type, etc)

Testing Woes

• For testing I want to re-create the legacy database tables. In other words, during python manage.py test, tell Django to set "managed" to True
  • There are several excellent blog posts on how to set "managed" to True during tests:
