Re: Trouble changing from sqlite3 to postgres

Hi,

It seems strange that it would be trying to convert a "date" column to an integer.

Since you're creating a new database from scratch, you could try deleting your migrations and generating them from scratch to see if that helps.

Otherwise, what does your "app_1.0003_auto_20141126_2333" file have for operations?

The following shows the complete traceback.
Thanks.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

The error is probably in code you wrote that uses the date field. Can you post the full traceback? That will let us see where the caller was that created the problem.

I have written a simple Django app (my first) that works with sqlite3 database.
I want to change to postgres, but when I run the Django 1.7 migration utility  with the command
"python manage.py migrate"

I get the error:
    psycopg2.ProgrammingError: column "date" cannot be cast automatically to type integer

Which is occuring in:
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/site-packages/django/db/backends/utils.py", line 65, in execute
    return self.cursor.execute(sql, params

I am not sure how to track down the problem.
I am running Slackware Linux.

My models.py file is as follows:

====================================
from django.db import models
import datetime

# Create your models here.

class Location(models.Model):

   class Meta:
      unique_together = ("lat", "lng")

   lat  = models.DecimalField(max_digits=8, decimal_places=5)
   lng  = models.DecimalField(max_digits=8, decimal_places=5)
   name = models.CharField(max_length=200,  unique=True)

   def __str__(self):
      return "%s: %d %d" % (self.name, self.lat, self.lng)

class Observation(models.Model):

   date     = models.DateField()
   location = models.ForeignKey(Location)
   observer = models.CharField(max_length=50)
   temperature     = models.FloatField(default=0.0)
   photo    = models.ImageField(default="tower.jpg", upload_to="uploaded_photos")

   def __str__(self):
      return self.observer
=========================================

The DATABASE part of my settings.py file is as follows
where I have commented-out the old sqlite3 part:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
DATABASES = {

#   'default': {
#       # sqllite3
#       'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
#       'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
#   }

   # For postgres:
    #'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
    # USER, PASSWORD, HOST also needed
    # Inside postgres, "CREATE DATABASE database_name"

     'default': {
         'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
         'NAME': 'app_1_db',
         'USER': 'bill',
         'PASSWORD': 'bill',
         'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
         'PORT': '5432',
     }

}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please let me know if you have ideas.

Thanks.
