FYI in Django 1.8+ you can prevent that:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/testing/overview/#the-test-database

" New in Django 1.8:

You can prevent the test databases from being destroyed by adding the
--keepdb flag to the test command. This will preserve the test database
between runs. If the database does not exist, it will first be created.
Any migrations will also be applied in order to keep it up to date.
