I can't do database migrations so this is a circular problem: Django complains because there isn't a database -> Database can't be migrated because Django complains -> Django complains . . . 
The problem seems to be that Django ""compiles"" CVB before doing anything, before running commands. Is this  bug or is a feature? Should I use function defined views for views that use database configurations?"	Uncategorized	closed	Uncategorized	1.9	Normal	invalid			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
