No, actually, because validators are *exactly* what you want to use here :) The right way to do what you want is to add a validator that checks that your ``code`` field is uppercase; when that's combined with the uniqueness check you'll get the right result. If you check out http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/forms/ #ready-made-validators, you'll see that Django already includes an ``isUpperCase`` validator for you, so you should be able to do something like:: from django.db import models from django.core.validators import isUpperCase class MyModel(models.Model): code = models.CharField(maxlength=2, validator_list=[isUpperCase]) description = models.CharField(...)
