| 11. Relating an object to itself, many-to-one
 | |
| 
 | |
| To define a many-to-one relationship between a model and itself, use
 | |
| ``ForeignKey('self')``.
 | |
| 
 | |
| In this example, a ``Category`` is related to itself. That is, each
 | |
| ``Category`` has a parent ``Category``.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Set ``related_name`` to designate what the reverse relationship is called.
