Passing parent with multiple childs from View to HTML

I have been studying the modalforms & inline formsets but am not able to wrap my head around my composite objects, and want to see how things are done in django world - I have this hierarchical model "Author" has many "Books" Each "Book" has 4 Sections -> Section-01, Section-02, Section-03 & Se

Re: dJango updating fields which are not being set

ok at the whole scenario, there are thousand consumers doing this, and each has one extra DB call. That's pretty expensive. On Sep 22, 11:41 am, Tom Evans wrote: > On Tue, 2009-09-22 at 08:13 -0700, PlanetUnknown wrote: > > I'm sure I'm missing something simple here, since

dJango updating fields which are not being set

I'm sure I'm missing something simple here, since its a common flow - 1.) e.g. model Person - has 4 fields - person_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) person_name = models.CharField(max_length=50) comments = models.TextField(blank=True) create_dt = models.DateTimeField(auto_n

Re: How to define a "has-a" relationship in dJango models

The OneToOne relationship seems to be more of an inheritance type of relationship, hence that cannot be used. On Sep 16, 10:28 am, Craig McClanahan wrote: > On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 7:15 AM, PlanetUnknown > > wrote: > > > For example - User HAS "Contacts"; User H

How to define a "has-a" relationship in dJango models

For example - User HAS "Contacts"; User HAS "Preferences" Usually (I'm from an Oracle/Java background) the Contacts table would have a "user-id" foreign key. However Django models refer Foreign Key relations as "Many-to-one", but that is not true in my case. There is only one Contact table for a U

Using custom table instead of "user" in django

Guys, I have a quick question. I am attracted to django due to its flexibility however there is something bothering me now. My question is can I use a custom table, say "consumer" instead of the one provided my django ? Here are the reasons - 1.) I have my whole DB model around this consum
