Set all sqlite db's to WAL mode on creation Complete work done on 6917:fba76e0bba98. WAL journaling mode now enabled on primary db as well as session db's when using sqlite for session databases. Made change to WAL mode more robust for testing by bracketing `pragma journal_mode=wal` with commit() calls. Normally the conversion would occur when a new session was opened, but this commits the changes explicitly to make all the tests stable. Also added doc on this.

==========================
PostgreSQL/psycopg Backend
==========================

This are notes about PostqreSQL backend based on the psycopg adapter for
Roundup issue tracker.

Prerequisites
=============

To use PostgreSQL as backend for storing roundup data, you should
additionally install:

1. PostgreSQL_ 8.x or higher

2. The psycopg_ python interface to PostgreSQL_

Note that you currently need at least version 2.8 of psycopg_ -- the
postgresql backend will work with 2.7 but if you're using the native
postgresql indexer you need at least 2.8. Also if you want to run the
tests, these also need 2.8. If your distribution has an older version we
suggest that you install into a python virtual environment.

.. _PostgreSQL: https://www.postgresql.org/



Running the PostgreSQL unit tests
=================================

The user that you're running the tests as will need to be able to access
the postgresql database on the local machine and create and drop
databases. See the config values in 'test/db_test_base.py' 
about which database connection, name and user will be used.
