[FIXED] How to recreate a deleted table with Django Migrations?

Issue

There are two models Groups and Students and only one table for Groups of them, the Students table was deleted.

How to make Django recreate the deleted table? If I do makemigrations it prints "No changes detected".

On admin page when I click on the Students table it throws an exception:

relation "students_students" does not exist

Solution

In django 1.7 you can try:

1. Delete your migrations folder

2. In the database: DELETE FROM django_migrations WHERE app = 'app_name'.
   You could alternatively just truncate this table.

3. python manage.py makemigrations

4. python manage.py migrate --fake

If you are working in django 1.9.5 this is the 100 % solution for this problem:

1. Delete your migrations folder

2. In the database: DELETE FROM django_migrations WHERE app = 'app_name'.
   You could alternatively just truncate this table.

3. python manage.py makemigrations app_name

4. python manage.py migrate

This works 100% for me!
