inspectdb should generate related_name for ForeignKey.

the solution is here:

#Original inspectdb

121 if rel_to in known_models:
122 field_type = 'ForeignKey(%s' % rel_to
123 else:
124 field_type = "ForeignKey('%s'" % rel_to

#Modified inspectdb
121 if rel_to in known_models:
122 field_type = 'ForeignKey(%s' % rel_to
123 else:
124 field_type = "ForeignKey('%s'" % rel_to
125 extra_paramsrelated_name = '%s_%s' % (table2model(table_name),column_to_field_name[column_name])

to be added to:

I'm not sure it is a change wanted by everyone. This can save some work in some configurations, and add a burden in other situations where the user don't need nor want to have related_name set.

Well, the problem is the models.py is generated by the utility python manage.py inspectdb, then when it's loaded e.g. python manage.py runserver, the system report hundreds of such errors.

If you think this feature may not be needed by everyone, at least add an option for people who *actually* need it; otherwise, these users have to do hundreds of modification on the *generated* file.
