How do Django migrations work with indexes?

Django migrations are a way to propagate changes you make to your models into the database schema. Indexes can be added to improve query performance.

Can you explain how to create an index in a migration?

Sure! You can create an index in a migration by using the indexes option in your model's Meta class or by using the AddIndex operation in a migration file.

What are the benefits of using indexes in Django?

Indexes can significantly speed up query performance, especially for large datasets, by allowing the database to find rows more quickly.

Are there any downsides to using too many indexes?

Yes, having too many indexes can slow down write operations, as the database needs to update the indexes whenever data is modified.
