Firstly, you can use Django's ability to invoke raw SQL as part of the syncdb process: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/howto/initial-data/#providing-initial-sql-data Although the examples in that documentation describe using INSERT statements, you can issue any SQL statement you want. Secondly, you could use South. http://south.aeracode.org South is a migration framework for Django -- it allows you to manage changes in database schema, but you can also include creation of additional views, indexes, etc as part of that process.
