When I make many2one field to one of the base modules (like, account.invoice or hr.employee), sometimes it works fine but other times I get this weird Error:

 

ProgrammingError: relation "_unknown" does not exist LINE 1: SELECT "_unknown".id FROM "_unknown" ORDER BY "_unknown"."id...

This only gets resolved when I completely restart the system (the windows machine). Does anyone know what could be leading to this?

After digging a little deeper into this problem, it seems only to happen when I use the "Upgrade" button to updgrade my module.

The way to resolve it is by restarting both the "Odoo" service and also the "postgres" service

Hi,

this post may be a bit old, but was struggling in same issue for few... hours.

In my case, it was a 'small' typo in the Many2one reference object.


Hope this may save some time to others in same situations.

Abdullah,

Please look at your dependencies in your __openerp__.py.

I've just have the problem : I forgot to mention the depending modules for every relation I have in my own module

Hope this helps

Perfect, I'm creating my first module and that is basic, but I did not know that

This problem occurs when you declare a Many2one field passing arguments in the wrong order to the constructor.

For example:

account_id = fields.Many2one('Account', 'account.account', required=True)  [WRONG]

instead of:

account_id = fields.Many2one('account.account', 'Account', required=True) [CORRECT]

You don't get an exception, but relation is not properly created.
