Django: 'python manage.py sql polls' error

Question

I'm following the djangoproject tutorial at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/tutorial01/ ...

I'm at the part where it tells me to start a 'polls' app in django and input it into settings.py of the project, to let it know that polls is installed. I did everything as instructed but when I do python manage.py sql polls, I get the following error:

Unknown command: 'sql'

Well, I've selected the wrong tutorial for my version of Django. Good thing the Internet is anonymous. — boysangur

I'm not sure why are you still looking at django version 1.4 documentation to learn django(There's an obvious banner on top of the page reminds you to upgrade), but I guess the reason is that sql command is deprecated in version 1.9, so most likely you installed the latest version of django and it's no longer available.

Check django website for deprecated notice.
