python manage.py makemigrations myproj
Migrations f         


        

Answer 1

Similar to Andrew E above but with a few changes especially where you haven't deleted the migrations folder in your quest to resolve the issue

1 - In your intact migration folder just examine the 000*.py files counting from the highest down to initial.py till you find the one where your Model is defined, say 0002_entry.py

2 - python manage.py sqlmigrate app-name 0002 > 0002_sql.txt to capture the SQL commands

3 - Edit this file to ensure there are no hard CR/LFs and the ALTER, CREATE INDEX commands are each on own single line

4 - Log into your DB (I have Postgres) and run these commands
