Hello and thank you very much for your answers.

stifan:

I thought that when you set migrate=False the content of db.py file was not 
executed, but obviously I was wrong. So, if I put the CREATE INDEX in a 
controller, the performance should be much better? 

pallav:

Thank you very much, I will take this into account the next time I have 
problems.
