Not really django specific, I was having problems with it in java+hibernate implementation too...
I have a model, 'Items', which is generic enough to extend to more specialized items, like a 'book items' model for example. This relationship has been modelled as a one-to-one, but when listing the detail of any given Item, I would dearly like to have the extended data displayed too - whatever that may be. The problem is I can't figure out how to detect that extra data without adding some indication in the Items table as to what other table(s) to check in. Or I could check all specialized tables, which is clunky. Is this a common problem with a solution? Any help would be appreciated .. Alice
