Django model field for PostgreSQL NUMERIC data type

Question

I'm using Django to create an application (using PostgreSQL) that needs a column numeric(15,6), but I'm not finding a method to do this.

Answer 1

From PostgreSQL docs:

The types decimal and numeric are equivalent. Both types are part of the SQL standard.

So you can use Django's DecimalField

class MyModel(models.Model):
    my_field = models.DecimalField(max_digits=15, decimal_places=6)

Some docs:

• https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/forms/fields/#decimalfield
