Setting an existing field to use ForeignKey can't access the object

[Patrick Carra]

hello I am attempting to relate two existing tables 

class Circuitinfotable(models.Model):

    id1 = models.AutoField(primary_key=True, null=False, unique=True)

    pid = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)

    circuitid = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)

    bandwidth = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True, choices=bandwidth_list)

    region = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True, choices=region_list)

    bw = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)

    pathname = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)

    handoffalocaddress = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)

    handoffaloccity = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)

    handoffalocst = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)

    alocationaddress = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)

    alocationcity = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)

class Budgettable(models.Model):

    id = models.CharField(primary_key=True, max_length=255)

    circuitid = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)

    pid = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)

    monthnum = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)

    yearnum = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)

    budgetmrc = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)  # This field type is a guess.

    actualmrc = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)  # This field type is a guess.

    region = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)

    circuitref = models.ForeignKey(Circuitinfotable, on_delete=models.CASCADE, to_field='id1')

    class Meta:

        managed = False

If open a shell and import Circuitinfotable and Budget and run the following code:

from finance.models import Circuitinfotable, Budget

c=Circuitinfotable.objects.get(id1=695)

c.budget

c.budget_set.all

I get an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>

AttributeError: 'Circuitinfotable' object has no attribute 'budget'

or 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>

AttributeError: 'Circuitinfotable' object has no attribute 'budget_set'

I set up my budget file to have the circuitref populated with the id1 field of the Circuitinfotable.

In my code I can query these two objects and manually relate them myself in the view but I cannot get the django ORM to do this for me.  Any suggestions?

Your ciecuitinfotable model does not have budget and budget_set field

OGUNSANYA I'm trying to access the related objects in the budget table from the Circuitinfotable.  From what I can tell once they are related using the ForeignKey I should be able to do this with c.budget but it doesn't work for me.

Okay I figured it out. First I was using the wrong table (an old table that I should have deleted out). Second I needed to set the db_column attribute in my ForeignKey options).  Works like a charm now.  Sorry but thanks for the help!
