I'm a recovering PHP developer and I'm looking at using Django for my next project - I know how to accomplish the following in PHP (well, technically it's mostly accomplished in SQL...) but I'd like to know how difficult it would be to handle this in Django:
I'm trying to create a model for a certain type of physical object - we'll say, a (theoretical) peg. I also have a model for a grid of holes. A given peg may occupy any hole, but only one at a time. For my particular case, I have a pressing need to know what holes a given peg has occupied, and *when*. It would also be nice to be able to pull up a list of available holes, or get a complete peg occupancy history for a given hole :) If I was creating a SQL schema by hand, I would create a join table with something like these columns: peg_id hole_id occupied_start_time occupied_end_time And then write all the queries by hand. I'd like to know the "cleanest" way to work with Django on this - it's a wonderful framework, and I'd like the opportunity to learn/switch to Python, but if I have to reinvent the wheel, I'm a lot more used to doing that writing a PHP app. Does anyone have any ideas or sample code I could look at?
