I have tested this on MySQL and Django 1.7.4.
I have unsigned integer fields in my mysql table (which can be created
from SQL like this: `entity_id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL COMMENT 'Entity
ID'`), and when I introspect a table that contains fields like this, the
corresponding model field generated is:
`entity_id = models.IntegerField()`,
whereas it should be something like:
`entity_id = models.PositiveIntegerField()`.
This is same in case of unsigned smallint fields too.
A bug like this also breaks ForeignKey relationships on that field, as the
new field created would be a normal INT and results in MySQL error 150
during migrations and breaks them. Changing the fields to
`PositiveIntegerField` in generated file manually seems like the only fix
for now (which was suggested to me on #django IRC).
So, `inspectdb` should generate `PositiveIntegerField` when the field is
unsigned. I am not sure if this is the same for other databases too, as I
haven't tested against them.
