python - Using Django Multiple Databases with RedShift

I am trying to use an Django multiple database configuration with MYSQL as my default database and redshift as my analytics database. My configuration looks sometime like this:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'xxxx',
        'USER': 'xxxx',
        'PASSWORD': 'xxxx',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
    },
    'analytics': {
        'NAME': 'analytics',
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'USER': 'XXXXXXXXX',
        'PASSWORD': 'XXXXX',
        'HOST': 'XXXXX.us-east-1.redshift.amazonaws.com',
        'PORT': 5439,
    }
}

When I try to migrate my analytics app, using the following command

python manage.py migrate analytics --database analytics

I am seeing the following error:

  File "/opt/envs/cinematique/bin/django-admin.py", line 5, in <module>

    return self.cursor.execute(sql, params)
django.db.utils.NotSupportedError: Column "django_migrations.id" has unsupported type "serial".

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? I am using Django==1.7.9 and psycopg2==2.6.1

The specific problem is: Django wants to create a migration-management table with a serial primary key to track migration history. Redshift doesn't support that.

The more general problem with the approach, though, is that you don't really want Django-style migrations on a Redshift database (see stuff like How to change table schema after created in Redshift?). Redshift is meant for huge databases and changing it's schema can be a heavyweight job.

So, the answer is: don't use Django migrations with redshift. Syncdb might be ok, to initialize your tables, but after that you will need to manage the schema manually. Don't create a migrations__init__.py file in an app whose models are intended for Redshift.
