Howdy, I originally posted about this issue on django-users here: http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/ca79f4cb085566a5 After further discussion of the issue on #django, I believe I have hit upon a genuine bug in the Django ORM layer so I am posting here.
The following model renders correctly when viewed in the admin interface: class Cms_Consumer_Reports(models.Model): cms_consumer_reports_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) title = models.CharField(max_length=765) description = models.TextField(blank=True) html = models.TextField(blank=True) html_title = models.TextField(blank=True) html_description = models.TextField(blank=True) html_keywords = models.TextField(blank=True) hidden = models.BooleanField() category = models.ManyToManyField('ontology.Category', db_table='map_cms_consumer_reports_to_category', verbose_name='Associated categories', help_text='Select all categories related to this report') right_column = models.TextField(blank=True) Note that the generated SQL query for the ManyToManyField is correct, in particular, it respects the db_table argument provided to the ManyToManyField constructor: SELECT `category`.`category_id`, `category`.`name`, `category`.`description`, `category`.`group_label`, `category`.`dw_id`, `category`.`ncat` FROM `category` INNER JOIN `map_cms_consumer_reports_to_category` ON (`category`.`category_id` = `map_cms_consumer_reports_to_category`.`category_id`) WHERE `map_cms_consumer_reports_to_category`.`cms_consumer_reports_id` = 6868466 If, however, I add the following ForeignKey to the model, and attempt to view it in the admin interface, it generates incorrect SQL for the ManyToManyField: category_id = models.ForeignKey('ontology.Category', db_column='category_id', verbose_name='Ontology Category') The incorrect SQL generated for the ManyToManyField follows. Note that it appears to ignore the db_table argument: SELECT `category`.`category_id`, `category`.`name`, `category`.`description`, `category`.`group_label`, `category`.`dw_id`, `category`.`ncat` FROM `category` INNER JOIN `cms_consumer_reports` ON (`category`.`category_id` = `cms_consumer_reports`.`category_id`) WHERE `cms_consumer_reports`.`cms_consumer_reports_id` = 6868466 Any insights into this or assistance writing up a fix would be greatly appreciated.
