22037	Allow testing and dumping legacy database without enabling syncdb	ellisd23@…	nobody	"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."	New feature	closed	Database layer (models, ORM)	1.6	Normal	duplicate			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
