Two django apps (models) using same table

[IgorS]

I am new to Django. It might be a very easy question but i could not
google it...

If i have two django apps in the same project and both apps need to
use the same table in the same database, how should i describe this
table in two different models.py files.

Thank you,

Perhaps https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/options/#db-table ?

But you really shouldn't describe the same table twice, if it's exactly the same thing. Move the models.py to a standalone "app" and have your two apps refer to that instead.

Thank you Andre for your quick answer :-)

I think the second option is a good choice.

From your expertise, does it make sense to follow this approach?
1. Add models.py to the first app added to the project
2. Use [db_table = 'users'] -- without model prefix
3. When new apps are added, refer to the first model

Thank you once again,

I believe you could also use proxy models in that case. Have a look at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/db/models/#proxy-models
