BigAutoField not working

[Akshaya Krishnan]

Hi all, 

I am trying to create a field in Django 2.2 with BigAutoField as the datatype. The backend is MySql. And I am using the mysql.connector. 

When I try to add datatype as BigAutoField for the column, I cannot see that column in my table.

If I alter it from 'AutoField' to 'BigAutoField', it throws an error:

ValueError: Cannot alter field TableName.columName into TableName.columName  - they do not properly define db_type (are you using a badly-written custom field?)

Thanks in advance

If you cant see it in your table in dbms, you probably have not run makemigrations and migrate commands.

If you have done that, you should grab the migration file when that field was first created and paste that code here. Also paste your old n new code from the models.py file. So that someone can help you.
