Re: Models/Foreign Keys best practice

Hi Richard,

I am facing a difficulty here.
Can you please tell me that how to iterate over this queryset , performance.ensemble_set.all()  ??

Thanks.

Hi all,

I'm putting together my first app, closely modelled on the Django tutorial, and wanted some advice regarding when to split the various models into different foreign keys.

The app lists performances, who's performing, what my role is with them (i.e. conductor, pianist etc.), the venue and the start date/time of these performances.

I'd initially thought I should split these all into separate classes, since, for example, the same Ensemble might be involved in a different performance, but I'm now not sure that's correct (/my understanding is incorrect). Would someone mind letting me know if this is a good idea or whether there's a better practice I should follow.

I've included my models.py file below:

from django.db import models

from django.utils import timezone

# Create your models here.

class Performance(models.Model):

    """First attempt at a thing!"""

    performance_name = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    link = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    def __unicode__(self):

        return self.performance_name

class Ensemble(models.Model):

    performance = models.ForeignKey(Performance)

    ensemble = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    def __unicode__(self):

        return self.ensemble

class Role(models.Model):

    performance = models.ForeignKey(Performance)

    role = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    def __unicode__(self):

        return self.role

class Venue(models.Model):

    performance = models.ForeignKey(Performance)

    venue = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    def __unicode__(self):

        return self.venue

class Date(models.Model):

    performance = models.ForeignKey(Performance)

    start_date = models.DateTimeField('Start Date', default=timezone.now)

    end_date = models.DateTimeField('End Date', default=timezone.now)

Thanks!

Rich
