No such column: polls_question.question_text?
Step:1 Use THis Command python manage.py dbshell If you're using SQLite, you can use the dbshell to interact directly with the database and check if the column question_text exists in the polls_question table. If it doesn't exist, there was likely an issue with the migration. Step:2 Then, in the shell, you can run the following query: PRAGMA table_info(polls_question); This will list all the columns in the polls_question table, and you can check if question_text is listed. Step:3 If the column is not there: If the question_text column is not visible, it means that your migration has not been applied correctly, or for some reason, the database has not been updated properly. In this case, you will need to run the migration again, as mentioned earlier. You need to run python manage.py makemigrations and python manage.py migrate to update the database. Step:4 Run the Application After Fixes Once you’ve confirmed that the migration has been applied correctly and the model matches the database, try accessing your application again and check if the error persists.
What I tried in my previous explanation was to provide a step-by-step guide on how to troubleshoot the issue with the polls_question.question_text column not being found in the database. The approach included running the dbshell command to directly inspect the database schema and see if the column exists, followed by steps to resolve the issue if the column was missing.
I expected this method to help you verify whether the database schema was correctly updated with the question_text column and ensure that migrations were applied properly. The goal was to guide you in debugging and fixing the operational error caused by the missing column.
If this wasn’t what you were expecting, could you clarify your question further? Are you asking about the approach to troubleshooting, or did you have a different expectation in mind?
