Hey there, Let's say that I have these models:
*from django.contrib.auth.models import User* * * *class Publisher:* * name = Char(x)* * * *class Author:* * publisher = FK(Publisher)* * name = Char(x)* * * *class Book:* * user = FK(User)* * author = FK(Author)* * name = Char(x)* As we see, Book is relatad to Author and User and Author is related to Publisher. As we know, to add a record to Book I would have to have a User and Author instance. Something like this: *u = User.objects.get(id=1)* *a = Publisher.objects.get(id=1).author_set.get(id=1237)* and then insert the book data *Book(user=u, author=a, name='MyBook').save()* Now, my question is: Is there any way to insert data in the same statement as you get the Author? something like: *Publisher.objects.get(id=1).author_set.get(id=1237).Book(x, x, x).save()* * * The problem I see is that Book needs it's parent instance. Is there any way to go around this?? Thanks a lot as usual jhv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
