Django 记录

1. ManyToManyField字段的修改

ManyToManyField字段须要在记录被创建后再进行更新，如下边的例子：

from django.db import models



class Publisher(models.Model):

    name = models.CharField(max_length=30)

    address = models.CharField(max_length=50)

    city = models.CharField(max_length=60)

    state_province = models.CharField(max_length=30)

    country = models.CharField(max_length=50)

    website = models.URLField()

    def __unicode__(self):

        return self.name



class Author(models.Model):

    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)

    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=40)

    email = models.EmailField()

    def __unicode__(self):

        return u'%s %s' % (self.first_name, self.last_name)



class Book(models.Model):

    title = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    authors = models.ManyToManyField(Author)

    publisher = models.ForeignKey(Publisher)

    publication_date = models.DateField()

    def __unicode(self):

        return title

#-*-coding:utf-8-*-



from books.models import *

                                        website=u'http:/www.ptpress.com.cn')

    renminyoudian.save()

                                        last_name=u'欣',email='')



    bianchengzhimei = Book(publisher=dianzigongye,

                                        publication_date = '2008-03-01')

    bianchengzhimei.save()

    bianchengzhimei.title = u'编程之美'

    bianchengzhimei.authors = Author.objects.filter(first_name='邹',

                                        publication_date = '2008-01-01')

    bianchengzhuji.save()

    bianchengzhuji.title = u'编程珠玑'

    bianchengzhuji.authors = Author.objects.filter(first_name=u'Jon',

                                        last_name=u'Bentley')

    bianchengzhuji.authors.add(huangqian)

    bianchengzhuji.save()



    csharp = Book(title=u'Visual C# 2005 大学教程（第二版）',

                                        publisher=dianzigongye,

                                        publication_date = '2007-07-01')

    csharp.save()

    csharp = Book.objects.filter(

                                     title=u'Visual C# 2005 大学教程（第二版）')

    csharp[0].authors = Author.objects.filter(first_name=u'H M',

                                        last_name=u'Deitel')

    csharp[0].authors.add(liuwenhong)

    csharp[0].save()



    manifold = Book(publisher=renminyoudian,

                                        publication_date = '2007-10-01')

    manifold.save()

    manifold.title = u'微分流形与黎曼几何引论'

    manifold.authors = [boothby]

    manifold.save()

 原因参考MWI的日志：

生成了四个表。
其中book_authors表是关联表，不能直接插入数据，实际上也不存在叫做BookAuthors的对象。所以要插入这里面数据，建立起book和author的联系时，必须取出book实例，并给book赋值

2. 要使django数据库相关的设置修改生效的最简单方法是退出由语句“python manage.py shell”启动的命令行终端，然后再次启动它

3. django中通过models建表时，翻译过来的字段SQL语句默认都是NOT NULL的，如果编程时留空一个字段，那么django在数据库中建表时会用""空字符串去填充该字段，防止它真的为空，即成为NULL。但是日期型、时间型和数字型字段不接受空字符串，因此不能留空，必须赋个值。如果要改变默认，将其定义为可以为空的字段，则需要表模型中通过null=True定义：

class Book(models.Model):

    title = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    authors = models.ManyToManyField(Author)

    publisher = models.ForeignKey(Publisher)

    publication_date = models.DateField(null=True)

bianchengzhuji = Book(publisher=renminyoudian,publication_date = '2008-01-01')

bianchengzhuji.save()

4. 在编辑模板文件时，最好不要使用记事本，因为记事本程序在将文本另存为utf-8格式时，在文件头额外添加了三个字节的数据BOM，用以给记事本等程序提示应按utf-8编码格式读取该文件。但着三个多余的字符，在django中处理utf-8文件时，会造成显示窜出一行。推荐使用UltraEdit或Dreamweaver等，在保存为utf-8格式时将有关BOM的选项取消。

5. 字符编码最好全部使用utf-8，包括但不限于：程序源文件的编码设置（通过注释#-*-codingutf-8-*-设置）；程序中字符常量（通过u'xxx'）；数据库的数据存储编码，在mysql中，通过以下语句设置（fromjxst051665的博客）

Create DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS my_db default charset utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

6. 视图函数中不要有url硬编码，也不要使用url字符串相关变量进行判断，如果url字符串相关变量被传递进视图函数，在函数内不要拿它做其他事，最后return rend_to_response出来就行了。有关url的事情，尽量都在url配置中完成。如下面的例子：

BAD CODE

1 urlpatterns = patterns('',

2     # ...

3     ('^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/add/$', views.add_stage),

4     # ...

5 )

# app_label,model_name是patterns中正则表达式提取得到url中的两个变量，下面视图函数中使用其进行了逻辑判断
def add_stage(request, app_label, model_name):

    if app_label == 'auth' and model_name == 'user':

        # do special-case code

    else:

        # do normal code

GOOD CODE

urlpatterns = patterns('',

    # ...

    ('^auth/user/add/$', views.user_add_stage),

    ('^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/add/$', views.add_stage),

    # ...

)

def add_stage(request, app_label, model_name):

    # ...

def user_add_stage(request):

    # ...
