'secondary': {
'TEST': {
'CREATE': False
}

This is necessary because my project has multiple database connections,
some using a Readonly user on the database. When the test management
command runs it attempts to create a test database using readonly
credentials and the entire test suite fails. A user should be able to
specify if a test database should not be created on a database.

Comment (by Tim Graham):
I think the easiest solution is to use a separate test settings file that
deletes the unneeded entries from `DATABASES`. Any downside to that?

Comment (by Harry Moreno):
I think a test_settings.py file would work. I just could not find the
relevant docs before.
