when i sync the database i have this error


    django.contrib.contenttypes.models.DoesNotExist: ContentType
    matching query does not exist.


  what is the meaning of this error and how can i solve it?

It is generally unconventional to have primary keys which have business 
meaning. To solve the problem remove 'primary_key=True' from both 
classes and rely on Django to give them their primary keys. You will 
have to migrate the tables accordingly or delete them and sync again.

If necessary you can add a unique constraint to the code_region and 
code_dept columns to ensure duplicates don't happen. unique=True
