So is it something I have done wrong? From what you are saying it has run the migration but I am not seeing that - still getting errors when I try to access the page. If I do manag.py sql myapp I see the schema including the new fields, but if I go into the shell, import the view, and do DataTable.objects.all() I get "Unknown column 'myapp_datatable.type2stub' in 'field list'". So is there a way to resolve this without deleting the database and starting again with one that does not have so many issues working with South?
