"Unknown command syncdb" running "python manage.py syncdb"

Question

I want to create the tables of one database called "database1.sqlite", so I run the command:

python manage.py syncdb

but when I execute the command I receive the following error:

Unknown command: 'syncdb' Type 'manage.py help' for usage.

But when I run

manage.py help

I don`t see any command suspicious to substitute

python manage.py syncdb

Version of Python I use: 3.4.2 Version of Django I use:1.9

I would be very grateful if somebody could help me to solve this issue.

Regards and thanks in advance

Answer 1

If you look at the release notes for django 1.9, syncdb command is removed.

Please use migrate instead. Moving forward, the migration commands would be as documented here

Please note that the django-1.9 release is not stable as of today.

Edit: Django 1.9 is stable now

Answer 2

the new django 1.9 has removed "syncdb", run "python manage.py migrate", if you are trying to create a super user, run "python manage.py createsuperuser"
