Steps to reproduce: 1. Modify poky/bitbake/lib/toaster/toastermain/settings.py file to use mysql Example: DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', 'NAME': 'toaster_data', 'USER': 'toaster', 'PASSWORD': '12345', 'HOST': '127.0.0.1', 'PORT': '', } 2. Create database and user in mysql: $ mysql -u root -p mysql> CREATE DATABASE toaster_data; mysql> CREATE USER 'toaster'@'localhost' identified by '12345'; mysql> GRANT all on toaster_data.* to 'toaster'@'localhost'; mysql> quit 3. run command: ./bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py migrate 4. run command: ./bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py lsupdates Expected results: Command finished successfully. Actually: An error is thrown: "An error occurred in the current transaction. You can't " django.db.transaction.TransactionManagementError: An error occurred in the current transaction. You can't execute queries until the end of the 'atomic' block. If you use sqlite3 lsupdates works fine.
Started to work on this.
