Well, I had always assumed that they do need to be integers, but it looks like this has been discussed at length. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-users/0utRzn98Wxo
It does seem clear, though, that the superior database design uses integers for ForeignKeys. And I didn’t find a way to make it clear to Django not to use an Integer ForeignKey. Maybe something to do with the primary_key attribute on a CharField?

ForeighKeys need to be integers? Only integers? You need a ForeignKey relationship between the two models, which is an integer value, not a char. You’d have to do migrations to get this adjusted properly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
