If you plan to use Django's ``manage.py syncdb`` command to
automatically create database tables for your models, you'll need to
ensure that Django has permission to create tables in the database
you're using; if you plan to manually create the tables, you can
simply grant Django ``SELECT``, ``INSERT``, ``UPDATE`` and ``DELETE``
permissions. Django does not issue ``ALTER TABLE`` statements, and so
will not require permission to do so. If you will be using Django's
`testing framework`_ with data fixtures, Django will need permission
to create a temporary test database.
ensure that Django has permission to create and alter tables in the
database you're using; if you plan to manually create the tables, you
can simply grant Django ``SELECT``, ``INSERT``, ``UPDATE`` and
``DELETE`` permissions. On some databases, Django will need to have
``ALTER TABLE`` privileges during ``syncdb`` (in order to create
foreign key constraints properly on databases which do not allow them
to be deferred), but will not issue ``ALTER TABLE`` statements on a
table once ``syncdb`` has finished setting it up.
