How to create GIN index in Django migration

Question

In Django, since version 1.11 we have a class for PostgreSQL GinIndex (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/contrib/postgres/indexes/). I\'d like to creat

Answer 1

Haven't yet had a chance to migrate my old manual CREATE INDEX codes to the new system introduced in 1.11 but my understanding is

from django.contrib.postgres.indexes import GinIndex
import django.contrib.postgres.search as pg_search

class EntryLine(models.Model):
    speaker = models.CharField(max_length=512, db_index=True)
    text = models.TextField()
    sv = pg_search.SearchVectorField(null=True) 
    class Meta:
        indexes = [GinIndex(fields=['sv'])]

Is what's required. Raw SQL CREATE INDEX statements need not be used any more
