Django Models (1054, “Unknown column in 'field list'”)

Question

No idea why this error is popping up. Here are the models I created -

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class Shows(m         


        

Answer 1

This is quite an old question but you might find the below useful anyway: Check the database, you're most likely missing the show_id in the appname_usershow table.

This could occur when you change or add a field but you forget running migration.

OR

When you're accessing a non managed table and you're trying to add a ForeignKey to your model. Following the example above:

class UserShow(models.Model):
    # some attributes ...
    show = models.ForeignKey(Show, models.DO_NOTHING)

    class Meta:
        managed = False
        db_table = 'appname_departments'
