django - Storing data in different tables or using bool fields -

i have article table

class article(models.model):     """     model keep articles     """      ext_id = models.uuidfield(primary_key=true, db_index=true, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=false)     title = models.charfield(max_length=255, unique=true, db_index=true)     content = models.textfield()     summary = models.textfield()     img_url = models.urlfield(max_length=200)     author = models.charfield(max_length=50, blank=true, null=true)     sport  = models.foreignkey('sport')     posted_on= models.datetimefield()     created = models.datetimefield(auto_now_add=true)     updated = models.datetimefield(auto_now=true)      def __unicode__(self):         return "%s %s" % (self.title, self.author) 

a table store articles liked user :

class likedarticle(models.model):      """     articles user wants read      """      ext_id = models.uuidfield(primary_key=true, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=false)     article = models.foreignkey(article)     profile = models.foreignkey(profile)     created = models.datetimefield(auto_now_add=true)     updated = models.datetimefield(auto_now=true) 

and unliked :

class unlikedlikedarticle(models.model):      """     articles user not want read      """      ext_id = models.uuidfield(primary_key=true, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=false)     article = models.foreignkey(article)     profile = models.foreignkey(profile)     created = models.datetimefield(auto_now_add=true)     updated = models.datetimefield(auto_now=true) 

now here, both tables liked , unliked, structurally same. find better store instead of storing bool field called is_liked because know data storing. don't have query huge set of articles when know interested in likedarticle. correct approach ? confused because structurally same , doesn't feel right design.

the best approach recommend use 1 table , add is_liked field. (and add index field, high performance queries)

but if still want use approach 2 table, need fix design.

use 1 abstract model has fields, , , unlike tables inherit abstract model

class actiononarticle(model):      fields here..       class meta:         abstract = true  class likedarticle(actiononarticle):   class unlikedarticle(actiononarticle):
