Question

I have a model structure along the lines of:

class Store(models.Model):
    STORE_TYPE = (
        ('I', 'Ice Cream'),
        ('H', 'Hardware'),
    ) 
    retailer_type = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=STORE_TYPE)
    ...

class HardwareStore(Store):
        hammers_stocked = models.BooleanField()

If I have an instance of HardwareStore, how do I access the Store object. I’m currently using

Retailer.objects.get(pk=hardware_store.pk)

where hardware_store is an instance of HardwareStore but that seems clunky

Answer 1

Not quite sure about relationship between Store and Retailer, can you post some code?
To access Retailer instance by model-inheritance, use

hardware_store.retailer_ptr
