GeoDjango Management Commands

=============================

``inspectdb``

=============

.. describe:: django-admin inspectdb

When :mod:`django.contrib.gis` is in your :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS`, the

:djadmin:`inspectdb` management command is overridden with one from GeoDjango.

The overridden command is spatially-aware, and places geometry fields in the

auto-generated model definition, where appropriate.

``ogrinspect``

==============

.. django-admin:: ogrinspect data_source model_name

The ``ogrinspect`` management command will inspect the given OGR-compatible

:class:`~django.contrib.gis.gdal.DataSource` (e.g., a shapefile) and will

output a GeoDjango model with the given model name.  There's a detailed example

of using ``ogrinspect`` :ref:`in the tutorial <ogrinspect-intro>`.

.. django-admin-option:: --blank BLANK

    Use a comma separated list of OGR field names to add the ``blank=True``

    keyword option to the field definition.  Set with ``true`` to apply

    to all applicable fields.

.. django-admin-option:: --decimal DECIMAL

    Use a comma separated list of OGR float fields to generate

    :class:`~django.db.models.DecimalField` instead of the default

    :class:`~django.db.models.FloatField`. Set to ``true`` to apply to all

    OGR float fields.

.. django-admin-option:: --geom-name GEOM_NAME

    Specifies the model attribute name to use for the geometry field.

    Defaults to ``'geom'``.

.. django-admin-option:: --layer LAYER_KEY

    The key for specifying which layer in the OGR

    :class:`~django.contrib.gis.gdal.DataSource` source to use.

    Defaults to 0 (the first layer). May be an integer or a string identifier

    for the :class:`~django.contrib.gis.gdal.Layer`. When inspecting databases,

    ``layer`` is generally the table name you want to inspect.

.. django-admin-option:: --mapping

    Automatically generate a mapping dictionary for use with

    :class:`~django.contrib.gis.utils.LayerMapping`.

.. django-admin-option:: --multi-geom

    When generating the geometry field, treat it as a geometry collection.

    For example, if this setting is enabled then a

    :class:`~django.contrib.gis.db.models.MultiPolygonField` will be placed

    in the generated model rather than

    :class:`~django.contrib.gis.db.models.PolygonField`.

.. django-admin-option:: --name-field NAME_FIELD

    Generates a ``__str__()`` method on the model that returns the given field

    name.

.. django-admin-option:: --no-imports

    Suppresses the ``from django.contrib.gis.db import models`` import statement.

.. django-admin-option:: --null NULL

    Use a comma separated list of OGR field names to add the ``null=True``

    keyword option to the field definition.  Set with ``true`` to apply to

    all applicable fields.

.. django-admin-option:: --srid SRID

    The SRID to use for the geometry field.  If not set, ``ogrinspect`` attempts

    to automatically determine of the SRID of the data source.
