I've defined the following two models:

class Weekday(models.Model):
    _name = 'ludwik.offers.weekday'
    name = fields.Char()

class Duration(models.Model):
    _name = 'ludwik.offers.duration'
    weekday = fields.Many2many('ludwik.offers.weekday')

When I try to start odoo I get the following message:

ProgrammingError: relation "ludwik_offers_duration_ludwik_offers_weekday_rel_ludwik_offers_" already exists

Also, when I change the _name properties in models, the problem persists (of course the relation name in the error message changes to reflect the rename), so it's not like it's just a conflict with some old relations already existing in the database.

Hi, I don't know if still you need the answer for this issue but it means that you have a db conflict so try to reset the db, you could use dbeaver and use the vaccum tool and it could work again, it works to me, I hope it can help

Thanks for the answer, but I asked the question 7 years ago :) Here is the answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26101401/262618. This specific problem was connected to the length of model names, so any amount of resting things would not help.
