alternative database setup shemes

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

at work we have a large set of fixtures, an option to copy a database from a template would be helpful

it can be file copies in sqlite and db template in postgresql

The current plan is to provide more granular and documented fixtures for each part of the db setup that can be replaced in a project conftest.py.

I.e. putting something like this in a project conftest.py would override the default pytest-django provided django_db_setup fixture that usually creates the database with syncdb/migrations:

@pytest.fixture(scope='session')
def django_db_setup():
    shutil.copy('sqlite_template.db', 'test_sqlite.db')

Do you have any thoughts on this Ronny?

Closing, since it is supposed to be fixed in 3.0.
