1.全自动(推荐使用 *)
优势：不需要你手动创建第三张表
不足：由于第三张表不是你手动创建的，也就意味着第三张表字段是固定的无法做到扩展
class Book(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=32)
price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=8,decimal_places=2)
authors = models.ManyToManyField(to=‘Author‘)
class Author(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=32)
2.纯手动（了解即可）
自己创建第三张表
优势:第三张可以任意的扩展字段
不足：orm查询不方便
class Book(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=32)
price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=8,decimal_places=2)
class Author(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=32)
class Book2Author(models.Model):
book = models.ForeignKey(to=‘Book‘)
author = models.ForeignKey(to=‘Author‘)
create_time = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)
3.半自动(推荐使用*******)
优势：结合了全自动和纯手动的两个优点
class Book(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=32)
price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=8,decimal_places=2)
authors = models.ManyToManyField(to=‘Author‘,through=‘Book2Author‘,through_fields=(‘book‘,‘author‘))
# through 告诉django orm 书籍表和作者表的多对多关系是通过Book2Author来记录的
# through_fields 告诉django orm记录关系时用过Book2Author表中的book字段和author字段来记录的
"""
多对多字段的
add
set
remove
clear不支持
"""
class Author(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=32)
# books = models.ManyToManyField(to=‘Book‘, through=‘Book2Author‘, through_fields=(‘author‘, ‘book‘))
class Book2Author(models.Model):
book = models.ForeignKey(to=‘Book‘)
author = models.ForeignKey(to=‘Author‘)
create_time = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)
