Description
At tutorial01 under "Database setup", it says "DATABASE_NAME — The name of your database, or the full (absolute) path to the database file if you’re using SQLite." Implicit seems to be the statement 'make up a file name here and when you run syncdb Django will create the sqlite database at that file name'. (ie, you don't need to use sqlite to create that database beforehand)
Having this statement explicit, maybe with an example file name (django.db? mysite.sql? sqlite.txt?) would be helpful.
I went through this page of the tutorial without putting a value in DATABASE_NAME and it had the effect of asking me to create a super user everytime I did 'python manage.py syncdb'. (As opposed to if you have a value there, you only get asked the first time)
