Django Bi-directional ManyToMany - How to prevent table creation on second model?

Question

I have two models, each has a shared ManyToMany, using the db_table field. But how do I prevent syncdb from attempting to create the shared table, for the second model?

Answer 1

class Awesome(models.Model):
 one = models.TextField()
 class Meta:
  # Prevent table creation. 
  abstract = True

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/models/#abstract-base-classes

It's not what you're looking for, but it's the closest they have I belive. Would it not be simpler to make a view?

Maybe:

class Awesome(models.Model):
  one = models.CharField(max_length = 255)
  two = models.CharField(max_length = 255)

class AwesomeOne(Awesome):
  fieldOne = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name = 'one')
  class Meta:
   abstract = True
class AwesomeTwo(Awesome):
  fieldTwo = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name = 'two')
  class Meta:
   abstract = True

Then, you can have one table created and override the __getattr__ to block access to the original fields.
