I have a Django model that used to look like this:class Car(models.Model): manufacturer_id = models.IntegerField()There is another model called Manufacturer that the id field refers to. However, I realized that it would be useful to use Django's built-in foreign key functionality, so I changed the model to this:class Car(models.Model): manufacturer = models.ForeignKey(Manufacturer)This change appears to work fine immediately, queries work without errors, but when I try to run migrations, Django outputs the following:- Remove field manufacturer_id from car - Add field manufacturer to carDoing this migration would clear all the existing relationships in the database, so I don't want to do that. I don't really want any migrations at all, since queries like Car.objects.get(manufacturer__name="Toyota") work fine. I would like a proper database foreign key constraint, but it's not a high priority.So my question is this: Is there a way to make a migration or something else that allows me to convert an existing field to a foreign key? I cannot use --fake since I need to reliably work across dev, prod, and my coworkers' computers.内容来源于 Stack Overflow, 遵循 CCBY-SA 4.0 许可协议进行翻译与使用。原文链接：Django change an existing field to foreign key
