Much thanks for responding to my cry for help! I will make the suggested changes and correctionns. Thanks much. Actually, I did adhere to Django's typical workflow as you hinted to: python manage.py makemigrations python manage.py migrate But when I examined the 0001_initial.py file in the migrations folder: from django.db import models, migrations class Migration(migrations.Migration): dependencies = [ ] operations = [ migrations.CreateModel( name='ActiveContracts', fields=[ ('id', models.AutoField(serialize=False, verbose_name='ID', primary_key=True, auto_created=True)), ], ), migrations.CreateModel( name='AddressBook', fields=[ ('id', models.AutoField(serialize=False, verbose_name='ID', primary_key=True, auto_created=True)), ], ), migrations.CreateModel( name='Agents', fields=[ ('id', models.AutoField(serialize=False, verbose_name='ID', primary_key=True, auto_created=True)), ], ), migrations.CreateModel( name='ArchivedContracts', fields=[ ('id', models.AutoField(serialize=False, verbose_name='ID', primary_key=True, auto_created=True)), ], ), migrations.CreateModel( name='Genus', fields=[ ('id', models.AutoField(serialize=False, verbose_name='ID', primary_key=True, auto_created=True)), ], ), migrations.CreateModel( name='ManagementUnits', fields=[ ('id', models.AutoField(serialize=False, verbose_name='ID', primary_key=True, auto_created=True)), ], ), migrations.CreateModel( name='ProductionUnits', fields=[ ('id', models.AutoField(serialize=False, verbose_name='ID', primary_key=True, auto_created=True)), ], ), migrations.CreateModel( name='Products', fields=[ ('id', models.AutoField(serialize=False, verbose_name='ID', primary_key=True, auto_created=True)), ], ), migrations.CreateModel( name='SoilProfiles', fields=[ ('id', models.AutoField(serialize=False, verbose_name='ID', primary_key=True, auto_created=True)), ('comment', models.TextField(default='Not provided')), ], ), ] ONLY the id field is being auto-generated. As my-level of Django skiils I am not sure how identify the source of the problem. The models have correct names so manage.py is "model-aware (assume correct env setup)". I was looking here (https://realpython.com/blog/python/digging-deeper-into-migrations) for more info on migration and was considering to edit migration file to setup the database tables. BUT I AM NOT CLEAR ON THE IMPLICATIONS GOING FORWARD FOR ADMIN INTERFACE and so. I shall see where this path leads to - hopefully a solution and a deeper understanding of the Django framework.
