Good day, Using a ManyToManyField as in the example below causes django to automatically instantiate a Model called country_region with fields country_id and region_id, which is very cool. But what if the region_country database table (for reasons beyond the scope of this thread) has field names other than country_id and region_id?
Django generates the field names in the many-to-many table based on the model names of the related tables, so the only way I have found to achieve this is to change the two Model names. But that forces me to have model names that I don't want! How can I tell django what field names to use in the automatic many-to-many Model? I have tried explicitly specifying the many-to-many Model using the through= keyword argument of the ManyToManyField, and this works, but then forms based on the Region Model do not allow saving... Any advice greatly appreciated, Randal *class Country(models.Model):* * country_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)* * country_name = models.CharField(max_length=200)* * class Meta:* * managed = False* * db_table = 'country'* * def __unicode__(self):* * return '%s' % (self.country_name)* *class Region(models.Model):* * region_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)* * region_name = models.CharField(max_length=200)* * region = models.ManyToManyField(Country, db_table='region_country')* * class Meta:* * managed = False* * db_table = 'region'* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
