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.
Complete rework of translating data values from database
Deprecation of SubfieldBase, removal of resolve_columns and
convert_values in favour of a more general converter based approach and
public API Field.from_db_value(). Now works seamlessly with aggregation,
.values() and raw queries.
Thanks to akaariai in particular for extensive advice and inspiration,
also to shaib, manfre and timograham for their reviews.
SQLite doesn't work with more than 1000 parameters in a single query.
The deletion code could generate queries that try to get related
objects for more than 1000 objects thus breaking the limit. Django now
splits the related object fetching into batches with at most 1000
parameters.
The tests and patch include some work done by Trac alias NiGhTTraX in
ticket #21205.
A regression caused queries to produce incorrect results for cases where
extra(select) is excluded by values() but included by extra(order_by)
The regression was caused by 2f35c6f10f.
The reason for the regression was that the GenericForeignKey field isn't
something meta.get_field_by_name() should return. The reason is that a
couple of places in Django expects get_field_by_name() to work this way.
It could make sense to return GFKs from get_field_by_name(), but that
should likely be done as part of meta refactoring or virtual fields
refactoring patches.
Thanks to glicerinu@gmail.com for the report and to Tim for working on
the issue.
The Model.from_db() is intended to be used in cases where customization
of model loading is needed. Reasons can be performance, or adding custom
behavior to the model (for example "dirty field tracking" to issue
automatic update_fields when saving models).
A big thank you to Tim Graham for the review!
