Here's how I'd get around this (I've recently worked on a project with an existing db where we needed to track new changes via migrations, and this is what we did). I'm assuming your project has no existing migrations. If it does, it should not include migrations for this specific model. If it does, you've another problem. 1. Create an initial migrations with the model that matches the existing database. 2. Add any new fields, etc. 3. Create new migrations that apply changes. 4. Run python manage.py migrate --fake-initial. This will skip the *first* migrations for tables that exist, and proceed with other ones. Since the first migration would have created a table that looks like your existing one, that's not an issue. The following migrations will add a field Lemme know if this helps. -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
