Django column “name” of relation “django_content_type” does not exist

Question

I keep getting the following error when doing a migration (python manage.py migrate):

django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: column \"name\" of relation \"django_         


        

Answer 1

I know that is an old question, but this might help some one. I was getting this error too. The problem was that content_types had a migration called 0002_remove_content_type_name that remove the column "name".
After remove migration data from table and folder this steps works for me:

./manage.py makemigrations myappname
./manage.py migrate myappname
./manage.py migrate --fake contenttypes

If you have sure that the rest of your db reflect your migration, you can use:

./manage.py migrate --fake

See the result with:

./manage.py showmigrations

After that, all your migrations should be marked and you should be fine
