Running the tests on the same database as the one used for dev has some
drawbacks:
- Everybody has different data, so we cannot make any assumptions about data in
tests and it can make tests fail for non-obvious reasons.
- Tests have to clean up every change to the database using SQL transactions,
so we cannot write testable code that use transactions (AFAIK)
- Transactions in tests happen to be committed sometimes, resulting in garbage
data added to the dev database

I'll send a patch that allows to run tests in a separate database in order to
address these issues.
