On Django 1.8.2, I have following model:
{{{
class Client(User):
mailing_list = models.OneToOneField(SubscriberList, null=True,
default=None)
}}}
Using manage.py makemigrations generates following operations:
{{{
operations = [
migrations.CreateModel(
name='Client',
fields=[
('id', models.AutoField(verbose_name='ID',
serialize=False, auto_created=True, primary_key=True)),
('user',
models.OneToOneField(to=settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)),
],
),
migrations.RemoveField(
model_name='client',
name='id',
),
migrations.RemoveField(
model_name='client',
name='user',
),
migrations.AddField(
model_name='client',
name='mailing_list',
field=models.OneToOneField(null=True, default=None,
to='campaign.SubscriberList'),
),
migrations.AddField(
model_name='client',
name='user_ptr',
field=models.OneToOneField(parent_link=True,
auto_created=True, primary_key=True, default=0, serialize=False,
to=settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL),
preserve_default=False,
),
]
}}}
As you can see, the migration starts by removing implicit `id` and `user`
fields, to later substitute them with implicit `user_ptr` field that
serves both as foreign and primary key. Unfortunately,
`migrations.RemoveField` uses `ALTER TABLE` statements, and this code
attempts to delete all columns on the table, resulting in OperationalError
with MySQL 5.8:
`_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (1090, "You can't delete all columns
with ALTER TABLE; use DROP TABLE instead")`.
It looks to me like an unwanted behaviour.

This report may be a duplicate of #24424 , but since the scope is somewhat
`django.db.utils.OperationalError: (1090, "You can't delete all columns
with ALTER TABLE; use DROP TABLE instead")`.
It looks to me like an unwanted behaviour.

Comment (by abhaga):
I'm trying to reproduce it but for me, the following correct Migration is
being generated:
{{{
operations = [
migrations.CreateModel(
name='client',
fields=[
('user_ptr', models.OneToOneField(parent_link=True,
auto_created=True, primary_key=True, serialize=False,
to=settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)),
('mailing_list', models.OneToOneField(null=True,
default=None, to='bug.SubscriberList')),
],
options={
'abstract': False,
'verbose_name': 'user',
'verbose_name_plural': 'users',
},
bases=('auth.user',),
managers=[
('objects', django.contrib.auth.models.UserManager()),
],
),
]
}}}
Can you provide a complete set of model definitions that will reproduce
the issue?

Comment:
We might be missing the state of the models before what is reported in the
description.
