Did not sync 100 %, still have one column that is not found.

But not synced to 100 %....

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Suppose, that your old project's models definition are consistent with database. And you want to edit some model(s) in app named 'myappName'. Then your algorithm will be following:

1. Before making any changes to you model, do:

   python manage.py convert_to_south myappName

2. Modify model(s) in app 'myappName'.

3. Create migrations:

   python manage.py schemamigration myappName --auto

4. Apply migrations:

   python manage.py migrate myappName
