Re: syncdb does not find model, but it does in the shell

I think that you have to indicate app_label in your separate model
file
According to:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/models/options/

class MyTestModel(models.Model):
field1=models.CharField(max_length=12)
field2=models.CharField(max_length=12)
class Meta:
app_label = sql

regards.
