How to drop a single model in Django, and leave the others

Question

I have 4 models. I want to redo 1 one of them that I've been working on. The other 3 models have user data that I don't want to lose.

I want to entirely drop one table, and sync it up with what's in models.py.

How do I do this?

Answer 1

You could remove the model from models.py, and create a migration which will drop the table.

./manage.py makemigrations

Then add the model back to your models.py, and create a new migration which will recreate the model.

./manage.py makemigrations

Finally, run your migrations and you should be done.

./manage.py migrate
