Django migrate : doesn't create tables

Question

After some errors, I dropped my database, deleted all my migration files (I left init.py). Now, when I run

python migrate.py makemigrations   /         


        

Answer 1

I had manually deleted one of the tables and the trick that worked for me was to execute the following steps:

1. Removed the migrations folder.
2. deleted the migrations from db: DELETE from django_migrations WHERE app='alerts_db';
3. python manage.py migrate --run-syncdb' before
4. python manage.py makemigrations 'app_name'
5. python manage.py migrate --fake

Note: earlier I was not executing the #3 step and the table was not getting created. my django version: v3.0.5
