Re: Need help creating model.

I think the Foreign Key route is the way to go. After setting up the fields on both the Student and Point models and establishing the FK relationship between the two, you could write a table-level method that returned the number of corresponding Points.

I have the following in my Student model. I am wanting to track the
date of each point given to each student. The idea would be so that I
could see not only how many points each student has, but also see the
date each point was given. In the future I want to see the trend of
each students' points.   How should I go about this? Should I use a
Foreign Key in another class. I am new to this so thanks for reading.


class Student(models.Model):

  CLASS_CHOICES = (
        (u'Yoga','Yoga'),
        (u'Spanish', 'Spanish'),
        (u'French', 'French'),
        (u'Dance', 'Dance'),
  )

  name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
  points = models.IntegerField(max_length=4)
  classname = models.CharField("Class Name",max_length=20, choices =
CLASS_CHOICES)
