Description
I keep getting this error from pytest-django:
Failed: Database access not allowed, use the "django_db" mark, or the "db" or "transactional_db" fixtures to enable it.
However, I don't know how to add the django_db mark to tests automatically created with the scenarios() function. Some sort of documentation on how to do this would be great.
I also suspect this is the underlying reason for #187.

Research direction
Start by reading the scenarios() entry point and the discussion in issue #187 to understand how generated tests interact with pytest-django. Document how the django_db mark, db fixture, or transactional_db fixture can be applied to these tests, and verify the documented approach against the reported database-access error.
