Relation does not exist Django Postgres

Question:

I recently changed the database from sqlite3 to Postgres.
My Django apps are running perfectly, but when I go to the admin page and click on my predicts model, it says

ProgrammingError at /admin/Atlus/predicts/

relation “Atlus_predicts” does not exist LINE 1: SELECT COUNT(*) AS
“__count” FROM “Atlus_predicts”

models.py

from django.db import models
from django import forms

class predicts(models.Model):

    firstname =models.CharField(max_length=15)
    info = models.TextField()

    def __str__(self):
        return self.firstname

Traceback

You have to run python3 manage.py migrate after you change the database. You also need psycopg2 installed in your virtualenv and have you django settings set like that:

DATABASES = {
'default': {
    'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
    'NAME': 'postgres',
    'USER': 'postgres',
    'PASSWORD': 'postgres',
    'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
    'PORT': '5432',
}

}

 replace this with database code in settings.py (use your db name,user,password)

 DATABASES = {
     'default': {
     'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
     'NAME': 'mydjangodb',
     'USER': 'root',
     'PASSWORD': 'CSGOroot',
     'HOST': 'localhost'
      }
  }

install psycopg 2 database adapter
perform migrations

  python manage.py migrate
  python manage.py makemigrations (your app name)
  python manage.py migrate

this should do

try: delete previous migrated file in migrations folder(file name something like this 001_initial.py)
then perform migrations again

Always run your makemigration first, than migrate.

Your DATABASE variable in settings.py needs to point you to your preferred database. Psycopg2 is also required, or psycopg2-binary if you cant install the first one.

See the docs for the DB setup. But, as already answered, check your DB settings in settings.py.

For me, this happened when I created a relationship to another table but fail to create that object to provide in this table:

company = models.ForeignKey(Company, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='company', null=True)

For you to have this field created in the database, you must first create the company so that you can put that company as input for the company field in this model.

Providing the company ID like this in postman

Another solution is to make sure the commands run on the correct schema. For example, django tenants uses different schemas.
