Thanks Daniel. Before trying that, I went nto the python shell, imported the DataTable model, and tried DataTable.objects.all(), and got the error: DatabaseError: no such column: myapp_datatable.datFile. I tried re-running syncdb, but still get the same error. Am I using reserved names here, or is there another issue with my code? These are the most logical names for what I am trying to do. Many thanks in advance.
