     70If you plan to use Django's ``manage.py syncdb`` command to
     71automatically create database tables for your models, you'll need to
     72ensure that Django has permission to create tables in the database
     73you're using; if you plan to manually create the tables, you can
     74simply grant Django ``SELECT``, ``INSERT``, ``UPDATE`` and ``DELETE``
     75permissions. Django does not issue ``ALTER TABLE`` statements, and so
     76will not require permission to do so. If you will be using Django's
     77`testing framework`_ with data fixtures, Django will need permission
     78to create a temporary test database.

    140 In the case of model tests, note that the test runner takes care of creating
    141 its own test database. That is, any test that accesses a database -- by
    142 creating and saving model instances, for example -- will not affect your
    143 production database. Each doctest begins with a "blank slate" -- a fresh
    144 database containing an empty table for each model. (See the section on
    145 fixtures, below, for more on this.)
