When you define a ForeignKey, django creates dinamically a reverse relationship. take this example: A B.a -> A from an instance of b = B() you can arrive to the related instance of A by b.a but you can also from the instance of a = A() retrieve all instace related of B by a.b_set() but if in a model there are two or more relationship versus the same model the names clashed! and Django ask you to give their names by related_name property. in your code: t = Team() this give you all games where the team was the home team t.homegame_set.all() this give you all games where the team was the visitor team t.vititorgame_set.all() by default t.game_set clash! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
