I've been trying Django and have 2 small problems:

- When I have a foreign key field in a model, is it possible to use just the
id of the foreign object or do we always have to use the object itself?
Example with a school and a student class. Each student has a foreign key
linking to the school where he studies. Through a form, I get the
informations to create the student including the school's id. When I want to
create and save the student, am I obliged to first hit the database to get
the school object and then pass it to student(school=school_object) or is
there a way to just use the ID as it is?


- When I search something in my database, using icontains on a field, it
doesn't work when there are non-asccii characters: a product field may
contain (in french so with accents!!) télévision but when I look for "télé"
I get a unicode error. If I look for "vision" everything works just fine.
Any idea why?

Thanks
