Answer 1

You can hold 2 different settings.py and while run manage.py do : python manage.py runserver --settings=[projectname].[settingsfile].

change the settingsfile according to your database.

if DEBUG:
    DATABASES = {
        'clean': {
            'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.',
            'NAME': '',
            'USER': '',
            'PASSWORD': '',
            'HOST': '',
            'PORT': '',
            },
        }
else:
    DATABASES = {
        'default': {
            'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.',
            'NAME': '',
            'USER': '',
            'PASSWORD': '',
            'HOST': '',
            'PORT': '',
            },
        }
