Django self-referential foreign key

I'm kind of new to webapps and database stuff in general so this might be a dumb question. I want to make a model ("CategoryModel") with a field that points to the primary id of another instance of the model (its parent). class CategoryModel(models.Model): parent = models.ForeignKey(CategoryModel) How do I do this? Thanks!
You can pass in the name of a model as a string to ForeignKey and it will do the right thing. So: parent = models.ForeignKey("CategoryModel") Or you can use the string "self" parent = models.ForeignKey("self")
