Description

Hi

According to Django 1.8 release notes, Django ORM should be able to import database views to models:
​https://docs.djangoproject.com/fr/1.8/releases/1.8/

Quote: inspectdb now introspects database views on all database backends. In previous versions, only tables (not views) were inspected.

As of version 1.8.2, Django ORM is clearly unable to import database views on PostgreSQL 9.X.

Is it expected behaviour depending on which version is used?

I think that the commit b8cdc7dcc3fc6897fb2a75f90023f5c67aad327f has been misinterpreted. It added view support for the get_table_list() introspection utility, but table_names() still returns tables only. And [ed297061a676e629983664031d77da1d0a70af7d] added optional view support for table_names(). But I'm almost sure that inspectdb never returned models for database views.

The resolution might be as simple as reverting the commit fixing #24177.
