Django migrations are wonderful, but I have found a bug. Here's how to
reproduce (there is probably a more minimal case):

1. Install this function at a shell for PostgreSQL

```CREATE FUNCTION exec(text) returns text language plpgsql volatile
AS $f$
BEGIN
EXECUTE $1;
RETURN $1;
END;
$f$;```

source: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Dynamic_DDL

2. Write a RunSQL operation to help rename some tables

```class Migration(migrations.Migration):
...
operations = [
migrations.RunPython(
code=x
),
migrations.RunSQL(
sql="""select exec(format('alter table %I rename to %I',
tablename, regexp_replace(tablename, '^hello, 'goodbye'))) from pg_tables
where tablename like 'hello%';"""
),
]```

3. Run the migration. I got this error:

```Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./manage.py", line 10, in <module>

packages/django/db/backends/utils.py", line 65, in execute
return self.cursor.execute(sql, params)
IndexError: list index out of range```

Not sure what's going on here. Could it be the custom function?

Django migrations are wonderful, but I believe I have found a bug. The
essence of what I am trying to do here: rename all tables starting with
the name "hello" (i.e. hello_1, hello2_, hello_3, ...) to start with the
name "goodbye (goodbye_1, goodbye_2, goodbye_3, ...), which could be very
helpful when renaming an application.

Here's how to reproduce (there is probably a more minimal case):

1. Install this function at a shell for PostgreSQL (very handy for

Comment (by abhillman):

Okay. I looked into this a bit more. I seemed to be able to resolve my
issue by escaping the '%' character (i.e. convert all instances of '%%' to
'%'). Inspecting the stack trace, I am not entirely clear on why this is
happening. Perhaps this is the correct behavior on django's behalf. Any
enlightenment on this issue would be much appreciated. In addition, I
wonder if some warning message or other error message might be appropriate
or helpful in this sort of situation.

I think I encountered something similar while working on an unrelated

Could you try applying the following diff and tell us if this changes
anything for you?
