Testing with TransactionTestCase uses real database

When I test using django.test.TransactionTestCase I have found that it uses the real database.

(django.test.TestCase works normally!)

I have confirmed this in my own project using the simple code:

class TestInventoryTransactions(TransactionTestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        print(Item.objects.all())

    def test1(self):
        pass

    def test2(self):
        pass

The output of this is

[...Bunch of items...]
[]

Showing that firstly that the real database is being used and not an empty test database. Secondly, it removes everything from the database after the first test.

I really don't think this is the expected behaviour and don't see why it would be happening.

Using "manage.py test" does not have this problem. It only occurs when running the test file manually.
