Re: save out a test database?

Karen Tracy, if you are reading this, could you comment?

As the person that seems to be most knowledgable about django testing
(your Django 1.1 Testing book is fantastic - I highly recommend it!),
can you confirm that something like this is the best way to go? It
seems strange to me that there is no more standard way of dumping the
database from inside a test so that the state can be replicated for
use in a runserver environment.
