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."
