27142	makemigrations fails on special database connections	Markus Gerards	nobody	"As direx in #27110 I have a bunch of database connections defined in `settings.DATABASES` which I'm using only with raw queries. One of them is a sphinxsearch engine. You can use a subset of MySQL commands to query the indexes, but not all MySQL commands are implemented there. So `makemigrations` fails when checking for the database schema:


{{{
django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: (1064, ""sphinxql: syntax error, unexpected IDENT, expecting VARIABLES near 'FULL TABLES'"")
}}}

I know, this will be some kind of edge-case but it would be helpful to skip any migration-related tasks for selected databases."	Bug	closed	Migrations	1.10	Release blocker	fixed		Shai Berger Markus Holtermann	Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
