In Django, Models<\/strong> define the structure of your database.
They allow you to create, read, update, and delete data using Python code instead of writing SQL directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Django uses an ORM (Object Relational Mapper), which means you interact with the database using Python classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Model?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Model is a Python class that represents a database table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each attribute in the model represents a column in the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

from django.db import modelsclass Product(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
    stock = models.IntegerField()
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)    def __str__(self):
        return self.name<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
In this example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
