9. Many-to-many relationships via an intermediary table
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For many-to-many relationships that need extra fields on the intermediary
|
||
|
|
table, use an intermediary model.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In this example, an article can have multiple reporters, and each
|
||
|
|
article-reporter combination (a "Writer") has a "position" field, which
|
||
|
|
specifies the reporter's position for the given article (e.g. "Staff writer").
