#13730 closed (fixed)

Allow db_index=False for ForeignKey

Reported by: Alexander Schepanovski Owned by: Alexander Schepanovski
Component: Database layer (models, ORM) Version: 1.2

Description

Now db_index=True is hard-coded, so I have to drop unneeded indexes manually after syncdb or south migrate.

Rationalization:
Indexes slow down insert, update and delete operations, so it's ineffective to manage indexes that are not really used.
They may be not used if:

  • they are created for consistency not for joins;
  • there are partial, multiple column or other special indexes that would be used instead of them
