Syncdb not working - django cache issue

Question

I've dropped all tables from my postgres db. Now, while running

python manage.py syncdb

I'm getting error that abc fields doesn't exist in xyz table. It's probably some sort of django cache issue. Error is of this format:

django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation "mmb_data_genre" does not exist
LINE 1: ...b_data_genre"."id", "mmb_data_genre"."genre" FROM "mmb_data_...

Any suggestions how to fix this?

Note - I'm using django 1.8.2 and

python manage.py makemigratons

or

python manage.py runserver

is throwing same error.

This may be due to migrations, before syncing db, you just delete all migrations folder inside you app. — Geo Jacob

Try deleting all migrations in django_migrations table then run python manage.py makemigrations — Sibtain

I've dropped my entire db which includes this table as well. — randomuser

syncdb in django 1.8 is merely an alias for the migrate command but with the additional step of creating a superuser.

Deprecated since version 1.7: This command has been deprecated in favor of the migrate command, which performs both the old behavior as well as executing migrations.

But syncdb (migrate) should be executed only after you have done makemigrations [app_label] but in your case you seem to have the order in reverse.

Try

./manage.py makemigrations
./manage.py migrate

Running ./manage.py makemigrations is also throwing same error

If this is a new database, clear it and clear the migrations folder and try those two steps.
