By chance, in your mappers, are you declaring two relationships instead of one relation with a backref?
As a side note, once you straighten this out, you may want to declare the composite (a_id, b_id) as a unique key on the relation table.

For a shorthand, "a" means instance of A, and "b" is an instance of B. For example: "a.bs" is a list, full of instances of class B. Similarly, "b.as" is a list, full of instances of class A. In modelling that relationship I use three tables, one for As, one for Bs, and one for their relationship. If I only append instances of B to some "a.bs", then save all those objects, everything works fine. But if I append instances of A and B, both to "a.bs" and "b.as", then save, I get double rows in the third table. Is there a way around that? P.S. In a very likely case I haven't been completely understood, I'll attach some code to demonstrate my point ;). Thanks all. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
