Migration errors from SQLite to Postgres

[Song Yang]

To put my app on Heroku, I am changing my database from SQLite to Postgres at the end of my project. Everything works fine locally on SQLite. But during python manage.py migrate --run-syncdb, I get a ProgrammingError. I was planning on loading the dumped json later in Postgres.

I created a branch on my repo for you to reproduce this bug. The branch is postgres and the link is ​https://github.com/XsongyangX/uml-fragment-labeling/tree/postgres

Here is the log.

$ py manage.py migrate --run-syncdb
Traceback (most recent call last):

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
