Hi All,

We recently added database introspection of defaults for purposes of 
testing migrations.

https://github.com/django/django/commit/75303b01a9cc900eebf1f27ba0bc6508334242fc

I would find it useful to have inspectdb attempt to use those defaults when 
generating models. (My use case is running inspectdb on a WordPress 
database which has a bunch of database defaults.)

Rough proof of concept: https://github.com/django/django/pull/4030

Though Tim says: "Translating database level defaults into model field 
defaults isn't functionally equivalent and given that Django doesn't 
translate the model field default option into a database level default, I 
think it would be inconsistent to do a conversion in the other direction."
