Defining the model representation and order

A model refers to a representation of a database table. A model defines the structure and behavior of a database table, including fields, relationships, and various methods. Models are defined in Python code using Odoo’s object-relational mapping (ORM) system. ORM allows developers to interact with the database using Python classes and methods, rather than writing raw SQL queries.

Model attributes are the features of a model that will be defined when we create a new model; otherwise, we use the attributes of the model that already exists. Models use structural attributes with an underscore prefix to define their behavior.

Getting ready

The my_hostel instance should already contain a Python file called models/hostel.py, which defines a basic model. We will edit it to add new class-level attributes.
