Django: Many-to-many through a table with (only) compound key
I have a legacy database with a table storing a many-to-many relationship, but without a single primary key column. Is there any way to convince Django to use it anyway?
Schematically:
Product 1<---->* Labeling *<---->1 Label
The Labeling
table uses (product_id,label_id)
as a compound primary key, and I don't see any way to inform Django about this. (Just using through
gives m开发者_如何学编程e Unknown column 'labeling.id' in 'field list'
.)
Do I need to fall back to custom SQL? Or am I missing something?
hope this helps you,
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/options/#unique-together
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.Field.db_index
If you add a unique_together
to the model for the many-to-many table, Django will use those columns instead of expecting a primary key called id
.
