Relation already exists error when using Model's create_table with fail silently option

[Tumetsu]

Hello, I'm using peewee with peewee_migrate library and encountered a problem today.
When I try to run my migrations, I get error

peewee.ProgrammingError: relation "migratehistory" already exists

More info in issue I posted to peewee_migrate's repo: klen/peewee_migrate#51
I investigated the reason and found the following. In the peewee_migrate, the migration history is created in a following function:

@cached_property
    def model(self):
        """Initialize and cache MigrationHistory model."""
        MigrateHistory._meta.database = self.database
        MigrateHistory._meta.db_table = self.migrate_table
        MigrateHistory.create_table(True)
        return MigrateHistory

Note the create_table call. After tinkering around a bit I noticed that the next version works:

@cached_property
    def model(self):
        """Initialize and cache MigrationHistory model."""
        MigrateHistory._meta.database = self.database
        MigrateHistory._meta.db_table = self.migrate_table
        self.database.create_table(MigrateHistory, safe=True)
        return MigrateHistory

You see I use database object's class method instead of Models.

This led me to wonder if the problem is actually in peewee and model's create_table won't work as expected. Of course it might be an issue with peewee_migrate (and therefore not really your business) as I originally suspected but I'd like to hear if you have any idea why the original code won't work or if there is indeed a bug in peewee :)

Finally here is link to peewee_migrate's file containing the snippets above: https://github.com/klen/peewee_migrate/blob/develop/peewee_migrate/router.py

And thanks by the way for creating peewee!

Found the problem which was in peewee_migrate. So nothing to see here. More information for curious: klen/peewee_migrate#51
