Re: Many-to-one field in search

Would it make sense to make

A: A TextEmailField which does not have the ForeignKey, and 

B: A model which has the foreign key and a TextEmailField

as a better and more standard approach?

I am trying to make an EmailField variant which:

1: Is based on TEXT rather than VARCHAR, and

2: May be in a many-to-one relationship with entity.

I presently have:

class TextEmailField(models.EmailField):

    entity = models.ForeignKey(Entity)

    def __init__(self, *arguments, **keywords):

        models.EmailField.__init__(self, *arguments, **keywords)

    def get_internal_type(self):

        return u'TextField'

A search for emails for a given Entity id is:

    emails = directory.models.TextEmailField.objects.filter(entity__exact =

      id).all()

This is getting the error below. My best interpretation is that I'm attempting an operation on a field that is only defined for models. Is this correct? How should I be remedying it?
