 *Oracle XE* allows the existence of only one database instance (named ``'xe'``). So, when the Django ORM testing code needs to test multi-DB functionality added in version 1.2, the Django Oracle backend implements that by creating what is know as *tablespaces*. The overall scheme of things is like this:
