Database Representation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Behind the scenes, Django creates an intermediary join table to represent the
many-to-many relationship. By default, this table name is generated using the
names of the two tables being joined. Since some databases don't support table
names above a certain length, these table names will be automatically
truncated to 64 characters and a uniqueness hash will be used. This means you
might see table names like ``author_books_9cdf4``; this is perfectly normal.

You can manually provide the name of the join table using the
:attr:`~ManyToManyField.db_table` option.
