I'm not sure that you can specify a different existing database. I think (not certain) that Django's testing is built to have no effect on real data, hence creating a blank test database. You can, however, use fixtures to create data in the test database after it is created and before the unit tests are performed. I assume the reason you want to use a previously, externally created DB is that you want to test based on the data in that DB. If this is the case, it is perfect to use a fixture of that DB's data.
