The interview table wouldn't have anything in it to point to the illustrator or author. The Author and Illustrator models would each have a ManyToMany field defined to the Interview model. The "related_name" property of this field will give you an easy way, when using an Interview model, to pull its related Author or Illustrator objects. When you start with an Interview object, you'll need to do something like check to see if: len(this_interview.author.all()) > 0 Shawn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
