This adds a new method, Apps.lazy_model_operation(), and a helper function,
lazy_related_operation(), which together supersede add_lazy_relation() and
make lazy model operations the responsibility of the App registry. This
system no longer uses the class_prepared signal.
Field.rel is now deprecated. Rel objects have now also remote_field
attribute. This means that self == self.remote_field.remote_field.
In addition, made the Rel objects a bit more like Field objects. Still,
marked ManyToManyFields as null=True.
Previously related fields didn't implement get_lookup, instead
related fields were treated specially. This commit removed some of
the special handling. In particular, related fields return Lookup
instances now, too.
Other notable changes in this commit is removal of support for
annotations in names_to_path().
These cached properies were causing problems with pickling, and in
addition they were confusingly defined: field.rel.model._meta was
not the same as field.rel.opts.
Instead users should use field.rel.related_model._meta inplace of
field.rel.opts, and field.rel.to._meta in place of field.rel.to_opts.
As suggested by Anssi. This has the slightly strange side effect of
passing the expression to Expression.convert_value has the expression
passed back to it, but it allows more complex patterns of expressions.
During direct assignment, evaluating the iterable before the transaction
is started avoids leaving the transaction dirty if an exception is raised.
This is slightly more wasteful but probably not enough to warrant a change
of behavior.
Thanks Anssi for the feedback. Refs #6707.
An explicit `__exact` lookup in the related managers filters
was interpreted as a reference to a foreign `exact` field.
Thanks to Trac alias zhiyajun11 for the report, Josh for the investigation,
Loïc for the test name and Tim for the review.
Refactored compiler SELECT, GROUP BY and ORDER BY generation.
While there, also refactored select_related() implementation
(get_cached_row() and get_klass_info() are now gone!).
Made get_db_converters() method work on expressions instead of
internal_type. This allows the backend converters to target
specific expressions if need be.
Added query.context, this can be used to set per-query state.
Also changed the signature of database converters. They now accept
context as an argument.
Added update_or_create to RelatedManager, ManyRelatedManager and
GenericRelatedObjectManager.
Added missing get_or_create to GenericRelatedObjectManager.
Validates that related_name is a valid Python id or ends with a '+' and
it's not a keyword. Without a check it passed silently leading to
unpredictable problems.
Thanks Konrad Świat for the initial work.
and ReverseSingleRelatedObjectDescriptor so they actually return QuerySet
instances.
Also ensured that SingleRelatedObjectDescriptor.get_queryset() accounts
for use_for_related_fields=True.
This cleanup lays the groundwork for #23533.
Thanks Anssi Kääriäinen for the review.
