12542	Test framework needs a way to restrict the number of databases created in a multi-db setup	Russell Keith-Magee	nobody	"Brett Hoerner [http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/286cc88ad9953df4 raised an interesting point on django-dev] about testing under multi-db:

If you have a master/slave setup, your DATABASES setup will describe multiple databases, but unless you're actually testing the master/slave setup, you don't need multiple databases to test general application logic - you just need a single data source. 

Django should provide a way to say ""only sync this subset of databases during testing"".

The initial suggestion is to allow TEST_NAME=None to be interepreted as ""don't create this database under testing"".
