Answer 1

I faced the same error like you posted above with MySQL database back-end, after long time of resolving this error, I ended up with below solution.

1. Manually added column to database through workbench with name exactly the same as it is shown in your error message.

2. After that run below command

python manage.py makemigrations

Now migrations will be successfully created

3. After that run below command

python manage.py migrate --fake

Now every thing works fine without any data lose issue
