Possibly it's related to the first "Incompatible change" listed in the MySQL upgrading notes.

As I can see, the problem is not due to the add field instruction, but with the following ALTER TABLE `gis_neighborhood` ALTER COLUMN `path` DROP DEFAULT', while the add field didn't set any default.
Applying this might help:

  • django/db/backends/schema.py

    diff --git a/django/db/backends/schema.py b/django/db/backends/schema.py
    index 282dfe6..9d5ebef 100644

    55from django.db.backends.utils import truncate_name
     6from django.db.models.fields import NOT_PROVIDED
    67from django.db.models.fields.related import ManyToManyField
    78from django.db.transaction import atomic
    89from django.utils.encoding import force_bytes
    class BaseDatabaseSchemaEditor(object): 
    379380        self.execute(sql, params)
    380381        # Drop the default if we need to
    381382        # (Django usually does not use in-database defaults)
    382         if not self.skip_default(field) and field.default is not None:
     383        if not self.skip_default(field) and field.default not in (None, NOT_PROVIDED):
    383384            sql = self.sql_alter_column % {
    384385                "table": self.quote_name(model._meta.db_table),
    385386                "changes": self.sql_alter_column_no_default % {

#23581 might be related.

Yes, that patch works. So unlike CharField/TextField in [1d3d01b4], the default model field option can't be used with all GeometryFields, correct?

comment:4 Changed 9 years ago by Claude Paroz

I'm not sure to understand your question. However, it seems that MySQL 5.6 is less permissive about DROPping default for columns which don't accept defaults. I'm not sure there is a difference between CharField/TextField and GeometryFields. Still, I'd suggest to ask Loic about the best resolution to this issue.

comment:5 Changed 9 years ago by Tim Graham

You can have something like CharField(default='foo') since model field defaults aren't applied at the database level. [1d3d01b4] prevents temporarily setting a default on MySQL to prevent the same error as this ticket for Char/TextField.

Is PointField(default=???) a possibility? If so, it seems your proposal wouldn't solve the issue entirely. We'd need something like my initial proposal (possibly using isinstance(field, GeometryField) instead). I think your proposal may address #23581 though. I will look at that later today.

comment:6 Changed 9 years ago by Claude Paroz

I've never seen default values on a geometry column. Even I can't find anything (after a short research) saying that it can never happen, I think it's fine to consider this as unsupported, so your patch goes indeed in the right direction.
