Wow, that's pretty deep stuff for never really looking at python
before...

How does the database modeling work?

[eggie5]

Hi,

I'm not a python or django user, but in the past couple days I've
become fascinated with Django. Mostly how the database modeling works.
It seems so elegant, something that doesn't exist in asp.net world.

I've been looking at the source to see how it's implemented because I
wanted to recreate parts of it i my C# asp.net app.

My main focus right now is the Model class. This is the base class of
any models the user creates. e.g.:

class Person(models.Model):
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)

This is sub classing the Model Class right. This is my C# duplicate:

 public class Person : Model
{
public Person(int contentID, Subscriber subscriber, DateTime
timeSent, bool confirmed, string fileSent, int adIDDelivered)
{
this.first_name = contentID;
this.last_name = subscriber;;
}
   }

And this is my model class so far:

 public class Model
{
public Model()
{

}

public static Manager Objects;

public void Save()
{

}

public void Delete()
{
}

}

My question is how does django get the field names for the DB. Does it
do some type of reflection on People class?
