Question

Answer 1

Django currently does not do this automatically. Your options are:

1. Drop the table from the database, then recreate it in new form using syncdb.
2. Print out SQL for the database using python manage.py sql (appname), find the added line for the field and add it manually using alter table SQL command. (This will also allow you to choose values of the field for your current records.)
3. Use South (per Dominic's answer).
