I have a model that is trying to join (sloppily) across 3 tables. KnownCategories are a "group by catalog" reduction of Product.catalog (because I thought it would be quicker but I don't know if I'm right)...they should join like this...
Product.catalog <------> KnownCategory.fk_name <------> MetaCategory.name class Product(models.Model): asin = models.CharField(maxlength=200) title = models.CharField(maxlength=200, db_index=True) catalog = models.CharField(maxlength=200, default='', db_index=True) class MetaCategory(models.Model): name = models.CharField(maxlength=200, core=True, db_index=True, unique=True) class KnownCategory(models.Model): meta_category = models.ManyToManyField(MetaCategory) fk_name = models.ForeignKey(Product, to_field='catalog') ...from the above... I was trying to do something like this... >>> p = Product.objects.filter(metacategory__name='Book') >>> p Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in ?
