python manage.py syncdb

It shows error like

dja         


        

Answer 1

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:

1. delete all the migration files inside the migrations folder (except init.py file) and then makemigrations then finally migrate
2. above 2 answers
3. 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
