On my accounting project.. i have database in postgresql. I has to change model of my project. After changing and appylying migrations for several times i got my database structure very bad. And was unable to appy any futher migrations being my models.py all correct.

So i deleted my database named 'goms'. Deleted my git repo. And agained cloned a working 'develop' branch. After running

./manage.py makemigratins

i get 

File "/home/student/work02/lib/python2.7/site-packages/psycopg2/__init__.py", line 164, in connect
conn = _connect(dsn, connection_factory=connection_factory, async=async)
django.db.utils.OperationalError: FATAL:  database "goms" does not exist

I belive the database must be created itself when making and applying migration. It seems psycopg has some cache stored which is searching goms instead of creating one. Plz help m stuck.

No, you need to create your database before applying the migrations.

If you would follow the official Django tutorial, you may see a note in a Database Setup section:

If you’re using PostgreSQL or MySQL, make sure you’ve created a database by this point. Do that with “CREATE DATABASE database_name;” within your database’s interactive prompt.
