Suppose in a relational database schema we have a student
, a subject
and a teacher
which connect to each other with a relation teaches
. Also, the relation has an attribute time
that stores the time of the lesson. This is the most complete yet simplified example I can think to describe my case. Now, the most pythonic and django-wise way I can think of trying to reach a correct solution is, after creating a model class for student
, subject
and teacher
, to create a new class Teaches
, which has the foreign keys for the three other classes; also it has the property date field for time. This class would look something like this:
class Teaches(models.Model):
teachers = models.ForeignKey(Teacher, on_delete_models.CASCADE)
subjects = models.ForeignKey(Subject, on_delete_models.CASCADE)
students = models.ForeignKey(Student, on_delete_models.CASCADE)
time = models.DateField
class Meta:
constraints = [
fields=['teachers', 'subjects', 'students']
name='teacher_subject_student_triplet'
]
