Django Model Relationships: ManyToMany with Through Model

class Student(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

class Course(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100)

class Enrollment(models.Model):
    student = models.ForeignKey(Student, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    course = models.ForeignKey(Course, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    grade = models.CharField(max_length=2)
    enrollment_date = models.DateField()

# Prasath wants to retrieve all courses for a student named 'Prasath'
student = Student.objects.get(name='Prasath')
courses = student.course_set.all()

  1. The code will work correctly and return all courses for Prasath.

  2. The code will raise an AttributeError because course_set doesn't exist; you must query through: Enrollment.objects.filter(student=student).values_list('course', flat=True).

  3. The code will return only the grade field instead of Course objects.

  4. The code requires defining a ManyToMany field in the Student model to work.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer

The code will raise an AttributeError because course_set doesn't exist; you must query through: Enrollment.objects.filter(student=student).values_list('course', flat=True).

Explanation

When using a through model with ManyToMany, you cannot directly access the related objects via the reverse relation. You must query through the Enrollment model using filter() or create a proper ManyToMany field with through parameter.
