django column does not exist but no models.py and no changes found












0















I am completely new to django, but I am trying to change a database table. I read a good amount of post about running



python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate



But when I run these two command, it does not detect any changes. A solution has been to change the models.py but I do not have that file. (I jumped aboard a working project, which appears to only have initialize the database once at the very beginning. I want to add a column to my .sql file which is copied from an .csv



CREATE TABLE test (
columns
...
organ_system text <-adding only this line
...
more columns);
/COPY test FROM 'test.csv' DELIMITER ',' CSV HEADER;



I have no clue on where to start/go.
The init.py file is completely empty if that means anything.

          it's normal for the __init__.py file to be empty. if you're missing a models.py file though something is a bit iffy as that is what django uses to talk to the database



          you are correct that in order to make changes to the database you would have to modify models.py

          • So would it best just to make the models.py file?
