django syncdb and an updated model

Question

I have recently updated my model, added a BooleanField to it however when I do python manage.py syncdb, it doesn't add the new field to the database for the model. How can I fix this ?

Answer 1

From Django 1.7 onwards

Django has built in support for migrations - take a look at the documentation.

For Django 1.6 and earlier

Django doesn't support migrations out of the box. There is a pluggable app for Django that does exactly that though, and it works great. It's called South.
