Re: How to separate data having the same model but belonging to different users?

Hi Dennis Thanks for summarizing the contents of the mails. Do you foresee any problems with the Model Inheritance scheme? At my end I am stuck at getting a way to achieve dynamic polymorphism - which is probably because I am new to Python. I can create a new subclass for every Department I add.

What's the best way to save generated images?

I'm writing an app that will generate, store, and display chart images. The idea is this: When a site visitor requests a given chart image, the app will check to see if it already exists. If not, the app will generate and store the necessary image before displaying it. Towards that end, I have

Re: How to separate data having the same model but belonging to different users?

Thanks Nikolas. I think my example was not clear. But all the code is shared between the departments (another reason for you to say use the same tables!). I do not need to have the explicit department name in the code. I don't know the name of the departments yet! (It is just a metaphor) I just

Re: How to separate data having the same model but belonging to different users?

If I understand correctly, that's not the type of dynamic loading you need. That statement can be the much simpler: >>> from mysite.departments.form import getDepartment Rather, if you need models (tables) mapped to users at runtime, you need to load the /those/ dynamically (normally you would

Re: How to separate data having the same model but belonging to different users?

Sure Nikolas I will reconsider your solution. In case I go for model inheritance then can I use the following solution to load the class dynamically? mod = __import__('mysite.departments', fromlist=[form.getDepartment()]) klass = getattr(mod, 'form.getDepartment()') Thanks Rohit Banga

Sounds good Joel... Thanks. What if I want to dynamically create the object of the subclass so that I don't have to duplicate the code. If I have class Department(models.Model): someField =... class PhysicsDepartment(Department): pass Then how do I instantiate the objects dynamically

Re: How to separate data having the same model but belonging to different users?

I would still argue that the best solution is to use a robust permissions model which would preclude this. Wherever there is code, you invariably have the potential for security flaws. The more complicated you make that code, the more chances for mistakes. On the other hand, simpler code with

Re: How to separate data having the same model but belonging to different users?

Thanks for your comments. I agree that technically it is feasible to achieve the same affect with row level permissions or filtering the rows by user. The requirement is to keep the data separate using different tables, databases while still using the same model. May be user is not the right

If you /absolutely/ have to use separate tables per user (again, I do not recommend this), then you'll need to implement some form of dynamic models (models which can be constructed at run-time rather than needing to be defined in the application code) such as discussed here:

Re: How to separate data having the same model but belonging to different users?

If I understand correctly, what you really need is object (or row) level permissions. It doesn't make a lot of sense to create a table for each user, especially when the data model is exactly the same (and could get you a huge, messy database really quick). Rather, what you want to control is the
