Django What is reverse relationship?

Question

Can someone tell me what is reverse relationship means? I have started using Django and in lot of places in the documentation I see \'reverse relationship, being mentioned.

Answer 1

In Django 2.0 you would define a ForeignKey as follows

mainclient = models.ForeignKey( MainClient, on_delete=model.CASCADE, related_name='+')  

the related_name='+' would cancel the default reverse relationship that Django sets up, so in the previous example, you would not be able to query the profiles using group.profiles.all().
