Description

I've run into an issue with multiple databases that seems like it could be a common enough use case to warrant taking a look at. I have a legacy database that I am using a database router for. I have reading enabled, but I would prefer not to allow syncdb since writing and changing structures are handled by the legacy application.

Still, for basic read operations such as dumpdata, allow_syncdb is checked, as well as when creating test databases. My Django app depends on the working legacy database, thus a test database needs to be created as well.

For now I'm overriding this will a custom setting that is modified at run time to indicate whether syncdb should be allowed, but this is obviously not a good long-term solution.
