Declaration

class PostGISIntrospection(DatabaseIntrospection)

▶ def get_field_type(self, data_type, description) override
inherited doc Hook for a database backend to use the cursor description to match a Django field type to a database column.

This method overrides django.db.backends.postgresql.introspection.DatabaseIntrospection.get_field_type.
```
For Oracle, the column data_type on its own is insufficient to
distinguish between a FloatField and IntegerField, for example.
```

▶ def get_geometry_type(self, table_name, description)

The geometry type OID used by PostGIS does not indicate the particular

type of field that a geometry column is (e.g., whether it's a
PointField or a PolygonField).  Thus, this routine queries the PostGIS
metadata tables to determine the geometry type.
