[Answered ]-Migrating sqlite to mysql using Django – tables not created

The best way is by using fixtures:

python manage.py dumpdata > application.json

then, after you change your database:

python manage.py loaddata application.json

It should work perfectly, however if you have any trouble try doing the dumpdata one-by-one for each app like:

python manage.py dumpdata my_app > my_app.json

In some situation it can happen that there are some details that you cannot JSONify some table then you need to --exclude then into the dumpdata command like:

python manage.py dumpdata my_app --exclude my_app.mymodel > application.json
