Hi, thanks for creating a cool resource. Can I tell you why the verification code doesn't come in, thank you

I have xampp server for mysql, I started xampp and then both apache and mysql
then opened phpmyadmin, I created database pydrive_db and imported the database..

"Installed django 3 and pymysql and then in pymysl folder I replaced given init.py file....

then I run commands
python manage.py makemigrations
but there errors coming
first it came

operation error : can't connect to sql server

now its new django.db.utils.InternalError: (1932, "Table 'pydrive_db.django_migrations' doesn't exist in engine")

if there is any other requirement to be installed or any thing please suggest and also...
please add some more detail, it would be helpful..
thank you...

I'm using python 3.8

this issue is coming for makemigraions, migrate and also for runserver

python3 manage.py makemigrations
