Casting objects in django model

Question

I am making a django project with models.py having following code:

class Record(models.Model):
    id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)

class TTAMRecord(Reco         


        

Answer 1

As Record is not abstract model, it has its own table and life cycle as other models. However, you can access the corresponding client object as record.ttamclient, so you can change your line to

account = Account.objects.get(...)
for record in account.records.all():
    client = record.ttamclient
    ...

However, this is little cumbersome if you have multiple derived classes. In such cases you would have to know which derived class you are referring to and use the corresponding attribute name.
