Question

Possible Duplicate:
Django models.Model superclass

By default, if you inherit a model class, django will create a separate table for the base class. Is there any way to use base class (so that I can have the same columns in all derived models), but NOT have django create that base table, but instead, create derived tables with all those same columns?

For example:

class MyBaseModel(models.Model):
    createdate = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) 

class A(MyBaseModel):
    nameA ...

class B(MyBaseModel):
    nameB ...

#I want 2 tables created, A with 2 columns(nameA, createdate) and B with 2 columns.

Is this possible?

Yes. Read the docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/models/#model-inheritance

The base classes should contain:

class Meta:
    abstract = True
