GeoDjango Management Commands — Django documentation

GeoDjango Management Commands

inspectdb

django-admin inspectdb

When 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

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.
