Django- Why I am getting this Programming Error When I have not declared shop_product variable anywhere .
Please help Click here to view error Image
please refer to this image of error
shop_product is the name of the database table for the model Product in the application shop.
Most likely cause for this error is that you didn't apply database migrations, or, if you did, that you didn't add the application shop to your INSTALLED_APPS.
Update:
According to one of your comments, you are trying to use SQLite, which you cannot use on Heroku, see https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/sqlite3
But it seems you figured that out because according to the settings of your app, you are using PostgreSQL, but you have not applied your migration.
Migrations are created once with manage.py makemigrations, but you have to apply them on every database, i.e. both on your local dev environment and on the database your application running on Heroku uses. For the latter, try this:
heroku run python manage.py
From the partial SQL query in the image it seems that "shop_product" is a table.
Note:
LINE 1: ... "shop_product"."id" FROM "shop_product"
Check your models if you have ShopProduct model, and check if you have migrations are updated.
Check if you have ManyToMany fields that might create that table, and also check if migrations are up to date.

I was deploying django with Portainer.
While deploying, the following error occurred in django image log.
django.db.migrations.exceptions.InconsistentMigrationHistory: Migration account.0001_initial is applied before its dependency users.0001_initial on database 'default'.
I deleted the migrations file and tried to migrate again and deploy, but the same error occurred.
maybe I think the problem is probably caused by customizing the User model.
What should I do?
First of all, you can not simply delete your migration files like that because the migration state is stored in your database, not only just in your migration files.
Open your database and check your django_migrations table and you will understand where your error come from. The error message means that Django find out the migration account.0001_initial existed on django_migrations table without users.0001_initial, but your migration files defined that users.0001_initial has to be before the account.0001_initial. So it don't know how to process the confliction.
If your data is not important, simply drop your database and create a new one will help. Secondly, you will have to follow the process to reverse a migration instead of deleting it here https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/topics/migrations/#reversing-migrations
I recommend you to read the whole https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/topics/migrations/.
So I have this django installation in which there are a bunch of migration scripts. They look like so:
00001_initial.py
00002_blah_blah.py
00003_bleh_bleh.py
Now I know these are "database building" scripts which will take stuff defined in models.py and run them against the db to "create" tables and stuff.
I want to create a new table(so I created its definition in models.py). For this, I have copied another model class and edited its name and fields and it is all fine. Lets call this new model class 'boom'.
My question is now how do I "create" this boom table using the migration script and the boom model?
I am worried that I might accidentally disrupt anything that is already in DB. How do I run the migration to create only boom table? How do I create a migration script specifically for it?
I know that it has something to do with manage.py and running migrate or runmigration (or is it sqlmigrate?...im confused). While creating the boom table, I dont want the database to go boom if you know what I mean :)
First, create a backup of your database. Copy it to your development machine. Try things out on that. That way it doesn't matter if it does go "boom" for some reason.
The first thing to do is
python manage.py showmigrations
This shows all the existing migrations, and it should show that they have been applied with an [X].
Then,
python manage.py makemigrations
Makes a new migration file for your new model (name 00004_...).
Then do
python manage.py migrate
to apply it. To undo it, go back to the state of migrations 00003, with
python manage.py migrate <yourappname> 00003
There are two steps to migrations in Django.
./manage.py makemigrations
will create the migration files that you see - these describe the changes that should be made to the database.
You also need to run
./manage.py migrate
this will apply the migrations and actually run the alter table commands in SQL to change the actual database structure.
Generally adding fields or tables won't affect anything else in the database. Be more careful when altering or deleting existing fields as that can affect your data.
The reason for two steps is so that you can make changes on a dev machine and once happy commit the migration files and release to your production environment. Then you run the migrate command on your production machine to bring the production database to the same state as your dev machine (no need for makemigrations on production assuming that your databases started the same).
My question is now how do I "create" this boom table using the
migration script and the boom model?
./manage.py makemigrations
I am worried that I might accidentally disrupt anything that is
already in DB.
The whole point of migrations, is that it doesn't
I know that it has something to do with manage.py and running migrate
or runmigration
For more information please refer to : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/migrations/
And rest assured that your database will not go boom! :-)
I solved it simply, changing the name of the new model to the original name, and then I checked if there is the table in the database, if not, I just create a new table with the old name with just a field like id.
And then clear migrations and create new migrations, migrate and verify table was fixed in DB and has all missing fields.
If it still doesn't work, then change the model name back to a new one.
but when django asks you if you are renaming the model you should say NO to get the old one removed properly and create a new one.
This type of error usually occurs when you delete some table in dB manually, and then the migration history changes in the tables are lost.
But it is not necessary to erase the entire database and start from scratch.
Django 1.7, Python 3.4.
In my models I have several TextFields defined.
When I go to load a JSON fixture (which was generated from an SQLite3 dump), it fails on the second object, which has 515 characters for one of its fields.
The error printed is
psycopg2.DataError: value too long for type character varying(500)
I created a new database (not just a table drop, a whole new db), modified my settings.py file, ran manage.py syncdb on the new database, created a user, and tried to load the data again, getting the same error.
Upon opening pgAdmin3, all columns, both CharField and TextField defined are listed as type character var.
So it seems TextField is being ignored and CharFields are being created instead. The PostgreSQL documentation explicitly lists both text and character types, and defines text as being unlimited in length. Any idea why?
I'm not sure what the exact cause was, but it seems to be related to django's migration tool storing migrations, even on a new database.
What I did to get this behavior:
Create django project, then apps, using CharField
syncdb, run the project's dev server
kill the devserver, modify fields to be TextField
Create a new Postgres database, modify settings.py
Run syncdb, attempt to load fixtures
See the error in question, examine db instance
What fixed the problem:
Create a new database, modify settings.py
delete all migrations in apps/migrations folders
after running syncdb, also run createmigrations and migrate
The last step generated a migration, even though there were none stored in the migrations folder, and there had been no changes to models or data since syncdb was run on the new database, which I found to be odd.
Somewhere in the last two steps this was fixed. Future people stumbling upon this: sorry, I'm not going to keep creating django projects to test the behavior further, but perhaps with this information you can fix your own database problems.
I'm trying to deal with a very puzzling error in a Django app. When DEBUG=False, trying to delete a user (via user.delete()) gives this database error:
DatabaseError: relation "social_auth_usersocialauth" does not exist
LINE 1: ...", "social_auth_usersocialauth"."extra_data" FROM "social_au...
However, I do not have social_auth or anything by a similar name in INSTALLED_APPS, nor are there any such tables in my database, nor does any of my code reference anything of the sort (I ran a text search on 'social' in the entire project folder) - and again, this works fine when DEBUG=True. social_auth is installed on my system and on my PYTHONPATH, but I cannot see where this app is getting the idea it should be having social_auth's tables in its database, let alone why it only thinks so when DEBUG=False.
What possible pathways could my app be getting this table from and how could I convince it it's not supposed to be there?
The problem could be caused by saved generic relations realized by Django content types. Relations in Django are not only static, implemented by models and INSTALLED_APPS but also dynamic implemented by table django_content_type that saves mapping from a numeric id to app_label + model. An example of possible dynamic relationship is a permission or a comment. You can have or have not a permission to any table of any installed application. You can write a comment to everything e.g to an article, to a user to a comment itself without changing any model. This relation is realized by saving numeric id of ContentType related to that model (table) and a primary key of related object (row).
Django does not expect that someone can manipulate the database manually. If you use south for manipulation then if you after uninstalling an application then run syncdb, you are asked by south if you want automatically remove orphant content types. Then can be unused tables removed securely without beeing later referenced.
(Possible hack: delete from django_content_type where app_label='social_auth' but south is unfallible.)
Many parts of the question are still open.
Edit:
Why it was not the right way: All generic relations are from descendants to the parent and all data about the relation are saved in descendant. If the child app is removed from INSTALLED_APPS then django.db code can nevermore try to remove descendants because it can not recognize which columns contain the relation data.
This table is created by django-social-auth application.
Looks like you've added it to your project and haven't launched migrate (or syncdb).
I have some models I'm working with in a new Django installation. Is it possible to change the fields without losing app data?
I tried changing the field and running python manage.py syncdb. There was no output from this command.
Renavigating to admin pages for editing the changed models caused TemplateSyntaxErrors as Django sought to display fields that didn't exist in the db.
I am using SQLite.
I am able to delete the db file, then re-run python manage.py syncdb, but that is kind of a pain. Is there a better way to do it?
Django does not ever alter an existing database column. Syncdb will create tables, but it does not do 'migrations' as found in Rails, for instance. If you need something like that, check out Django South.
See the docs for syndb:
Syncdb will not alter existing tables
syncdb will only create tables for models which have not yet been installed. It will never issue ALTER TABLE statements to match changes made to a model class after installation. Changes to model classes and database schemas often involve some form of ambiguity and, in those cases, Django would have to guess at the correct changes to make. There is a risk that critical data would be lost in the process.
If you have made changes to a model and wish to alter the database tables to match, use the sql command to display the new SQL structure and compare that to your existing table schema to work out the changes.
You have to change the column names in your DB manually through whatever administration tools sqlite provides. I've done this with MySQL, for instance, and since MySQL lets you change column names without affecting your data, it's no problem.
Of course there is.
Check out South
You'll have to manually update the database schema/layout, if you're only talking about adding/removing columns.
If you're attempting to rename a column, you'll have to find another way.
You can use the python manage.py sql [app name] (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#sql-appname-appname) command to see what the new SQL should look like, to see what columns, of what type/specification Django would have you add, and then manually run corresponding ALTER TABLE commands.
There are some apps/projects that enable easier model/DB management, but Django doesn't support this out of the box, on purpose/by design.
