Why am I getting MultiQuery exception on 1.4 nonrel? - google-app-engine

Question

I'm testing an upgrade on NonRel for App Engine to 1.4 from 1.3. It works fine locally, but when I deploy to App Engine, I get a syncdb error in the end of deployment:
Running syncdb.

I am able to work around it by deleting the content types on my local development server, but I'm wondering why I'm getting this error. I do understand what the exception says, but don't understand why NonRel has not adapted Django to perform this operation properly in App Engine?

Answer 1

This could be a bug in a path of the djangoappengine compiler that isn't utilized much. There was another delete related bug a few months ago:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/django-non-relational/delete/django-non-relational/Eb6K7fVYrhM/_QmLPtbIfmMJ
That being said, I'm not even sure why djangoappengine runs syncdb at all when you deploy. It runs syncdb locally, not on the production server. It seems unnecssary, I suspect it's just a byproduct of some existing django codepath.

I encontered a simillar error can you try
./manage.py sqlflush
