[Fixed]-Django parallel testing: Test processes incorrectly accessing test databases

A simple solution that worked for me is to explicitly specify the test database name in settings.py, e.g.,

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        ...
        'TEST': {
            # Avoid naming it the same as your original database name. 
            # Otherwise, it will be used while testing (and even may get deleted).
            'NAME': 'name_of_your_choice',
        },
    },
    ...
}

If you are using multiple databases, you may need to do it for all of them.

for using the PostgreSQL database on your Django project you can configure your database the same.

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        "ENGINE": "django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2",
        "NAME": 'Table_name',
        "USER": 'user_name',
        "PASSWORD": 'password',
        "HOST": 'localhost', # or 127.0.0.1
        "PORT": '5432', #5432 is the default PostgreSQL port if you change it must change this port
    }
}

and for setting multiple databases on your Django project, you can see this page and use it.
