As temporary solution, you can comment the Table creation in the migration script.

class Migration(migrations.Migration):

    dependencies = [
        (...)
    ]

    operations = [
        #migrations.CreateModel(
        #    name='TABLE',
        #    fields=[
        #            ....
        #            ....
        #    ],
        #),
        ....
        ....

Or

If the existing table contains no rows (empty), then consider deleting the table like below. (This fix is recommended only if the table contains no rows). Also make sure this operation before the createModel operation.

class Migration(migrations.Migration):

    dependencies = [
        (...),
    ]

    operations = [
        migrations.RunSQL("DROP TABLE myapp_tablename;")
    ]
