That's fair, but a composite index lacks some of the characteristics of a field (assignability, for example). Most DBs don't have functions that explicitly iterate over indexes, so such a thing isn't really readable, either. It might be appealing to have a models.Index base class that represents an index on a table, and have db_index=True be a shortcut to creating one. That might be more machinery than we want just for composite primary keys though. -- -- Christophe Pettus x...@thebuild.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
