* Added the index name to its deconstruction. * Added indexes to sqlite3.schema._remake_table() so that indexes aren't dropped when _remake_table() is called. Thanks timgraham & MarkusH for review and advice.

Model index reference

|
|
|
|
Index classes ease creating database indexes. They can be added using the
|
|
:attr:`Meta.indexes <django.db.models.Options.indexes>` option. This document
|
|
explains the API references of :class:`Index` which includes the `index
|
|
options`_.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Referencing built-in indexes
|
|
|
|
Indexes are defined in ``django.db.models.indexes``, but for convenience
|
|
they're imported into :mod:`django.db.models`. The standard convention is
|
|
to use ``from django.db import models`` and refer to the indexes as
|
|
``models.<IndexClass>``.
|
|
|
|
``Index`` options
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Index(fields=[], name=None)
|
|
|
|
Creates an index (B-Tree) in the database.
|
|
|
|
``fields``
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: Index.fields
|
|
|
|
A list of the name of the fields on which the index is desired.
|
|
|
|
``name``
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: Index.name
|
|
|
|
The name of the index. If ``name`` isn't provided Django will auto-generate a
|
|
name. For compatibility with different databases, index names cannot be longer
|
|
than 30 characters and shouldn't start with a number (0-9) or underscore (_).
