available from the ``django.contrib.postgres.indexes`` module.

``BrinIndex``
=============

.. class:: BrinIndex(pages_per_range=None)

    Creates a `BRIN index

    performance considerations and use cases of the index, please consult the
    documentation.

``GinIndex``
============

.. class:: GinIndex()

    Creates a `gin index

    To use this index on data types not in the `built-in operator classes
    <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/gin-builtin-opclasses.html>`_,
    you need to activate the `btree_gin extension
    <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/btree-gin.html>`_ on
    PostgreSQL. You can install it using the
    :class:`~django.contrib.postgres.operations.BtreeGinExtension` migration
    operation.
