What Way is best to extend User in Django 1.11?

[李余通]

How to extend User?I find many ways;
1. Use Profile
eg:

class UserProfile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User)    
    major = models.TextField(default='', blank=True)

This way is easy to understand,However,it will create a new table in sql,I heard this will add System burden.

2.inherit User
eg:
class CustomUser(User): 
    timezone = models.CharField(max_length=50, default='Asia/shanghai')   
    objects = UserManager()

This way seems also will add a new table.

There also have some way but i don't understand,so I want know on Django 1.11,What way is best to extend User?

I suggest creating a profile, leave the auth.User only for auth, all else specific to you application use your own model and reference to that

If the fields you're adding are things that you need to know for purposes of figuring out who someone is and what they're allowed to do, put them in a custom User model.

If the fields you're adding are not for the purpose of figuring out who someone is and what they're allowed to do, put them in a related profile model.
