Re: How to avoid "no such column" error when I add a new property to a model?

I created an "Article" model with a few simple properties. I ran
syncdb, and set up the Django admin site, and added
"admin.site.register(Article)" in admin.py. Using the Django admin
site, I created an article by filling in the form.

I then went into models.py and added another property. I ran syncdb
again, ran the server again, then when I opened the Django admin site
again, I got the "no such column" error.

When I Googled this, the only obvious solutions I found were to reset
the app, or at least drop the database table that changed, and start
over.

But how do I do this without losing my data?

I can't believe your Googling didn't reveal the canonical solution:
