Django - Testing with parts of original database

Question

My database has two types of entries: The very dynamic (users, comments, etc) and the more static (email templates, flat-pages).

During testing I want a clean DB but with the real 'semi-static' data.

Is there a way to make Django's testing system to load parts of the original DB ?

Thanks

Use fixtures. See the documentation or the (wiki page](https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Fixtures)

Put data you need into fixtures and they will be loaded every time test database is built.
