# GeoDjango Management Commands

## `inspectdb`

`django-admin inspectdb`

When `django.contrib.gis` is in your `INSTALLED_APPS`, the `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 `DataSource` (e.g., a shapefile) and will output a GeoDjango model with the given model name. There's a detailed example of using `ogrinspect` in the tutorial.

`--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.

`--decimal` `DECIMAL`

  Use a comma separated list of OGR float fields to generate `DecimalField` instead of the default `FloatField`. Set to `true` to apply to all OGR float fields.

`--geom-name` `GEOM_NAME`

  Specifies the model attribute name to use for the geometry field. Defaults to `'geom'`.

`--layer` `LAYER_KEY`

  The key for specifying which layer in the OGR `DataSource` source to use. Defaults to 0 (the first layer). May be an integer or a string identifier for the `Layer`. When inspecting databases, `layer` is generally the table name you want to inspect.

`--mapping```

  Automatically generate a mapping dictionary for use with `LayerMapping`.

`--multi-geom```

  When generating the geometry field, treat it as a geometry collection. For example, if this setting is enabled then a `MultiPolygonField` will be placed in the generated model rather than `PolygonField`.

`--name-field` `NAME_FIELD`

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

`--no-imports```

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

`--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.

`--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.
