I dropped some table related to an app. and again tried the syncdb command
python manage.py syncdb
It shows error like
django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: (1146, "Table 'someapp.feed' doesn't exist")
models.py
class feed(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User,null=True,blank=True)
feed_text = models.CharField(max_length=2000)
date = models.CharField(max_length=30)
upvote = models.IntegerField(default=0)
downvote = models.IntegerField(default=0)
def __str__(self):
return feed.content
What I can do to get the tables for that app ?
- drop tables (you already did),
- comment-out the model in model.py,
- and ..
if django version >= 1.7:
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate --fake
else
python manage.py schemamigration someapp --auto
python manage.py migrate someapp --fake
- comment-in your model in models.py
- go to step 3. BUT this time without --fake
For those that may still be having trouble (like me), try this out:
Comment out all the URL's in the main app's urls.py
Then go ahead and run migrations:
$ ./manage.py makemigrations
$ ./manage.py migrate
The problem was alleviated by removing the ()
's
solved_time = models.DateTimeField('solved time', default=timezone.now())
to
solved_time = models.DateTimeField('solved time', default=timezone.now)
I got this answer from reddit
none of the above solutions worked for me, I finally solved by
sudo systemctl stop mysql.service
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo systemctl stop mysql.service
In my case the code that I pulled had managed = False and I wanted the tables to be maintained by Django.
But when I did makemigrations the custom tables were not being detected or I was getting the error that the app_name.Table_name does not exist
I tried the following:
- delete all the migration files inside the migrations folder (except init.py file) and then makemigrations then finally migrate
- above 2 answers
- this
PS: This solution is only feasible if backup is present or data is not important or you are just started creating the tables, as purging mysql will lead to loss of data
I had this issue where I was playing with same database structure in production vs development. While dropping and recreating tables will probably resolve the issue, its worth checking your database itself and see if the model is actually correct. For myself I created the development database incorrectly with the table names all in lowercase while in production the first letter of tables were capitalized. I used the python manage.py inspectdb command on production db, and compared it to the model and realized that in the model it was trying to insert data to table 'test' instead of 'Test' for example. Hope that helps some of you in future.
