I'm fairly new to python and Django but I've got a fair bit of experience with general web development. My problem is that I'm having trouble figuring out the best way in Django to copy an object (with several foreign keys and many to many items) into an other completely different object and adding a couple extra pieces of data.
For example, if I had a Product model (with m2m Categories, m2m Attributes and related Manufacturer) and I wanted to copy it to a "ProductStorage" model that was exactly the same model but had a "datestored" field as well. Similarily, I need to copy the categories and the attributes and the manufacturers. I would like a complete "snapshot" of the data at a particular point in time. To me, it seems like this sort of duplicate functionality would be simple if I just had to copy one thing but I'm worried about that fact that I have to copy all the related data as well. Would it be better to run a function in Postgres? Is there a Django way to do this? Is there a python way to do this? I'm open to any suggestions. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
