To define a couple of fields as unique in Django there is a simple solution you just need to call unique_together which defines the fields as unique in Django.
An example that illustrates how we use unique_together:
class MyModel(models.Model):
field1 = models.CharField(max_length=50)
field2 = models.CharField(max_length=50)
class Meta:
unique_together = ('field1', 'field2',)
For your code, you will write unique_together like as follows:-
class Volume(models.Model):
id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
journal_id = models.ForeignKey(Journals, db_column='jid', null=True, verbose_name = "Journal")
volume_number = models.CharField('Volume Number', max_length=100)
comments = models.TextField('Comments', max_length=4000, blank=True)
class Meta:
unique_together = ('journal_id', 'volume_number',)
