PositiveSmallIntegerField - Django Models

Last Updated : 12 Jul, 2025

PositiveSmallIntegerField

is a integer number represented in Python by a

int

instance. This field is like a

PositiveIntegerField

. The default form widget for this field is a

NumberInput

when

localize

is False or

TextInput

otherwise. It supports values from 0 to 32767 in all databases supported by Django.It uses

MinValueValidator

and

MaxValueValidator

to validate the input based on the values that the default database supports.

Syntax:

field_name = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(**options)

Django Model PositiveSmallIntegerField Explanation

Illustration of PositiveSmallIntegerField using an Example. Consider a project named

geeksforgeeks

having an app named

geeks

Refer to the following articles to check how to create a project and an app in Django.

How to Create a Basic Project using MVT in Django?

How to Create an App in Django ?

Enter the following code into

models.py

file of

geeks

app.

Python3


 from django.db import models
from django.db.models import Model
# Create your models here.

class GeeksModel(Model):
    geeks_field = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField()

Add the geeks app to

INSTALLED_APPS Python3


 # Application definition

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'geeks',
]

Now when we run

makemigrations

command from the terminal,

Python manage.py makemigrations

A new folder named migrations would be created in

geeks

directory with a file named

0001_initial.py Python3


 # Generated by Django 2.2.5 on 2019-09-25 06:00

from django.db import migrations, models

class Migration(migrations.Migration):

    initial = True

    dependencies = [
    ]

    operations = [
        migrations.CreateModel(
            name ='GeeksModel',
            fields =[
                ('id', 
                  models.AutoField(
                  auto_created = True,
                  primary_key = True,
                  serialize = False, 
                  verbose_name ='ID'
                )),
                ('geeks_field', 
                  models.PositiveSmallIntegerField()),
            ],
        ),
    ]

Now run,

Python manage.py migrate

Thus, an

geeks_field PositiveSmallIntegerField

is created when you run migrations on the project. It is a field to store positive integer numbers.

How to use PositiveSmallIntegerField ?

PositiveSmallIntegerField is used for storing a integer number represented in Python by a int instance. To know more about int, visit

Python | int() function

. Let's try to save a positive number in PositiveSmallIntegerField.

Python3


 # importing the model
# from geeks app
from geeks.models import GeeksModel

# creating an instance of
# int
d = int(2189)

# creating a instance of 
# GeeksModel
geek_object = GeeksModel.objects.create(geeks_field = d)
geek_object.save()

Now let's check it in admin server. We have created an instance of GeeksModel.

Field Options

Field Options are the arguments given to each field for applying some constraint or imparting a particular characteristic to a particular Field. For example, adding an argument

null = True

to PositiveSmallIntegerField will enable it to store empty values for that table in relational database. Here are the field options and attributes that an PositiveSmallIntegerField can use.

Field Options Description Null If True, Django will store empty values as NULL in the database. Default is False. Blank If True, the field is allowed to be blank. Default is False. db_column The name of the database column to use for this field. If this isn’t given, Django will use the field’s name. Default The default value for the field. This can be a value or a callable object. If callable it will be called every time a new object is created. help_text Extra “help” text to be displayed with the form widget. It’s useful for documentation even if your field isn’t used on a form. primary_key If True, this field is the primary key for the model. editable If False, the field will not be displayed in the admin or any other ModelForm. They are also skipped during model validation. Default is True. error_messages The error_messages argument lets you override the default messages that the field will raise. Pass in a dictionary with keys matching the error messages you want to override. help_text Extra “help” text to be displayed with the form widget. It’s useful for documentation even if your field isn’t used on a form. verbose_name A human-readable name for the field. If the verbose name isn’t given, Django will automatically create it using the field’s attribute name, converting underscores to spaces. validators A list of validators to run for this field. See the validators documentation for more information. Unique If True, this field must be unique throughout the table.
