It's **not supported** by Pydantic to have a model of Pydantic v2 with its own fields defined as Pydantic v1 models or vice versa.

```mermaid
graph TB
    subgraph "❌ Not Supported"
        direction TB
        subgraph V2["Pydantic v2 Model"]
            V1Field["Pydantic v1 Model"]
        end
        subgraph V1["Pydantic v1 Model"]
            V2Field["Pydantic v2 Model"]
        end
    end

It improves editor support for Pydantic models, with:

* auto-completion
* type checks
* refactoring
* searching
* inspections

///

## Use the model { #use-the-model }

Inside of the function, you can access all the attributes of the model object directly:

{* ../../docs_src/body/tutorial002_py310.py *}

* data validation
* data serialization
* data documentation, etc.

This works the same way as with Pydantic models. And it is actually achieved in the same way underneath, using Pydantic.

/// info

Keep in mind that dataclasses can't do everything Pydantic models can do.

So, you might still need to use Pydantic models.

We'll fix these things by adding a few **extra models**. Here's where SQLModel will shine. ✨

### Create Multiple Models { #create-multiple-models }

In **SQLModel**, any model class that has `table=True` is a **table model**.

And any model class that doesn't have `table=True` is a **data model**, these ones are actually just Pydantic models (with a couple of small extra features). 🤓

You can see those schemas because they were declared with the models in the app.

That information is available in the app's **OpenAPI schema**, and then shown in the API docs.

That same information from the models that is included in OpenAPI is what can be used to **generate the client code**.

### Hey API { #hey-api }

## See it in the docs { #see-it-in-the-docs }

When you see the automatic docs, you can check that the input model and output model will both have their own JSON Schema:

<img src="/img/tutorial/response-model/image01.png">

And both models will be used for the interactive API documentation:

<img src="/img/tutorial/response-model/image02.png">

## Other Return Type Annotations { #other-return-type-annotations }

///

/// note

Notice that the input model is still validated.

So, if you want to receive partial updates that can omit all the attributes, you need to have a model with all the attributes marked as optional (with default values or `None`).

To distinguish from the models with all optional values for **updates** and models with required values for **creation**, you can use the ideas described in [Extra Models](extra-models.md).
