@ -964,6 +964,33 @@ abstract base class. For example, including ``db_table`` would mean that all
the child classes (the ones that don't specify their own :ref:`Meta <meta-options>`) would use
the same database table, which is almost certainly not what you want.
Due to the way Python inheritance works, if a child class inherits from
multiple abstract base classes, only the :ref:`Meta <meta-options>` options
from the first listed class will be inherited by default. To inherit :ref:`Meta
<meta-options>` options from multiple abstract base classes, you must
explicitly declare the :ref:`Meta <meta-options>` inheritance. For example::
from django.db import models
class CommonInfo(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
age = models.PositiveIntegerField()
class Meta:
abstract = True
ordering = ['name']
class Unmanaged(models.Model):
class Meta:
abstract = True
managed = False
class Student(CommonInfo, Unmanaged):
home_group = models.CharField(max_length=5)
class Meta(CommonInfo.Meta, Unmanaged.Meta):
pass
.. _abstract-related-name:
Be careful with ``related_name`` and ``related_query_name``
