Unlike other model fields, the newly introduced (1.4)
GenericIPAddressField did not accept verbose_name and name as the
first positional arguments. This commit fixes it.
Thanks Dan McGee for the report and the patch.
The joins for nested nullable foreign keys were often created as INNER
when they should have been OUTER joins. The reason was that only the
first join in the chain was promoted correctly. There were also issues
with select_related etc.
The basic structure for this problem was:
A -[nullable]-> B -[nonnull]-> C
And the basic problem was that the A->B join was correctly LOUTER,
the B->C join not.
The major change taken in this patch is that now if we promote a join
A->B, we will automatically promote joins B->X for all X in the query.
Also, we now make sure there aren't ever join chains like:
a LOUTER b INNER c
If the a -> b needs to be LOUTER, then the INNER at the end of the
chain will cancel the LOUTER join and we have a broken query.
Sebastian reported this problem and did also major portions of the
patch.
The ORM generated a query with INNER JOIN instead of LEFT OUTER JOIN
in a somewhat complicated case. The main issue was that there was a
chain of nullable FK -> non-nullble FK, and the join promotion logic
didn't see the need to promote the non-nullable FK even if the
previous nullable FK was already promoted to LOUTER JOIN. This resulted
in a query like a LOUTER b INNER c, which incorrectly prunes results.
Deferred models now automatically update only the fields which are
loaded from the db (with .only() or .defer()). In addition, any field
set manually after the load is updated on save.
This patch removes an unconditional float(value) conversion from db
backend default convert_values() method. This can cause problems when
aggregating over character fields for example. In addition, Oracle
and SQLite already return the bare value from their convert_values().
In the long term the converting should be done by fields, and the
fields should then call database backend specific converters when
needed. The current setup is inflexible for 3rd party fields.
Thanks to Merlijn van Deen for the original patch.
* Renamed the __unicode__ methods
* Applied the python_2_unicode_compatible decorator
* Removed the StrAndUnicode mix-in that is superseded by
python_2_unicode_compatible
* Kept the __unicode__ methods in classes that specifically
test it under Python 2
