title: How do I run a test in Django using production data (Read only)?
body: <p>I would like to run a test in Django but in order to run the test I need access to data from the production database (I don't want to setup an entirely new database for testing).</p>
  
  <p>How can use this data from the production database without allowing write access in my script? I don't want this test to effect anything, but I need access to this data in order to run this test. It seems ridiculous to have to launch (and pay for) an entirely new database just to grab a few rows of data, any advice? </p>
