Hi Currently the inspectdb command doesn't take the database indexes into account (Ticket - #27060 <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/27060#ticket>). While working on adding this feature, there was some confusion related to the inclusion of the index type.
I have implemented this feature here <https://github.com/django/django/pull/7083> but since Django doesn't support introspection of the type of index, currently the generated models have the default (B-tree) index no matter what the type of the actual index in the database may be. So I would like seek some advice on whether it would be a good idea to move ahead with this approach with a comment at the beginning of the generated file with the other comments <https://github.com/django/django/blob/19e20a2a3f763388bba9263d56db34012e90cf5b/django/core/management/commands/inspectdb.py#L48> and integrate this basic implementation into Django (with an update on the ticket and keeping the ticket open, maybe?). Or should this be kept on a hold until Django supports introspection of the index type for it's backends (PostgreSQL has this feature with some concerns about the design <https://github.com/django/django/pull/7046#discussion-diff-74431956>) and be done correctly all at once. Once that happens we would either use the correct index type if it is supported by Django, else add a comment informing that the index type is not a match and should be created manually. Please let me know if any other clarification is required on this. Thanks for any help.
