I am having great difficulties in saving nested models in an easy
way.
Consider the following Example :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
class Place(models.Model):
where = models.CharField(max_length=10)
class Meeting(models.Model):
place = models.ForeignKey(Place)
when = models.DateField()
#Two (almost) identical functions:
def test1():
place = Place(where='Paris')
meeting = Meeting(place=place, when='2011-01-01')
place.save()
meeting.save()
return meeting
def test2():
place = Place(where='Paris')
meeting = Meeting(place=place, when='2011-01-01')
place.save()
meeting.place = meeting.place #BY setting meeting.place to
itself, it works !!!!!!!!!!!!
meeting.save()
return meeting
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Running test1() results in crash "null value in column "place_id"
violates not-null constraint"
- Running test2() results in OK.
- Only difference is the dummy line "meting.place = meeting.place".
Could someone who really understands this explain what is going on?
