ManyToManyField "table exist" error on syncdb
- by Derek Reynolds
When I include a ModelToModelField to one of my models the following error is thrown.
Traceback (most recent call last):

_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (1050, "Table 'orders_proof_approved_associations' already exists")
Field definition:
approved_associations = models.ManyToManyField(Association)
Everything works fine when I remove the field, and the table is no where in site.
Any thoughts as to why this would happen?
