How to get rid of error 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax?

Question

MySQL

You need to create models in Django based on an existing mysql database. The database is hosted on heroku, created using the CleardDB plugin. I create models using the commands:

python manage.py inspectdb
python manage.py inspectdb> models.py
python manage.py migrate

However, when I run the command, python manage.py migrateI get an error:

_mysql_exceptions.ProgrammingError: (1064, "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '(6) NOT NULL)' at line 1")

How to get rid of this error?
Here is the full traceback:

Answer 1

I think this is the case: the project was created a relatively long time ago, and you are trying to update it and update dependencies. There are no difficulties with the code base, but cleardb seems to be stuck in the past and works on the basis of ancient mysql 5.5, support from which was cut out either in version 2.0 or 2.1 of Jungi. Hence the misunderstandings: dzhanga generates modern SQL, which the old Muscle is not able to parse.
The easiest way to fix this particular error is to lure patching jung at the time the project is launched:

# settings.py

from django.db.backends.mysql.base import DatabaseWrapper

DatabaseWrapper.data_types['DateTimeField'] = 'datetime'

But we must understand that this is just a crutch to quickly start. Therefore, then it is still better to update the database engine.
