This commit introduced a new class JoinPromoter that can be used to
abstract away join promotion problems for complex filter conditions.
Query._add_q() and Query.combine() now use the new class.
Also, added a lot of comments about why join promotion is done the way
it is.
Thanks to Tim Graham for original report and testing the changes, and
for Loic Bistuer for review.
The typo could have consequences in exceptional cases, but I didn't
figure out a way to actually produce such a case, so not tests.
Report & patch by Michael Manfre.
select_related('foo').select_related('bar') is now equivalent to
select_related('foo', 'bar').
Also reworded docs to recommend select_related(*fields) over select_related()
The use of OrderedDict (even an empty one) was surprisingly slow. By
initializing OrderedDict only when needed it is possible to save
non-trivial amount of computing time (Model.save() is around 30% faster
for example).
This commit targetted sql.Query only, there are likely other places
which could use similar optimizations.
In cases where the same connection (from model A to model B along the
same field) was needed multiple times in a select_related query, the
join setup code mistakenly reused an existing join.
If LEFT JOINs are required for correct results, then trimming the join
can lead to incorrect results. Consider case:
TBL A: ID | TBL B: ID A_ID
1 1 1
2
Now A.order_by('b__a') did use a join to B, and B's a_id column. This
was seen to contain the same value as A's id, and so the join was
trimmed. But this wasn't correct as the join is LEFT JOIN, and for row
A.id = 2 the B.a_id column is NULL.
The bug was already fixed by 01b9c3d519,
so only tests added.
At the same time promote_joins()'s uncoditional flag is gone, it isn't
needed for anything any more.
All Promise objects were passed to force_text() deep in ORM query code.
Not only does this make it difficult or impossible for developers to
prevent or alter this behaviour, but it is also wrong for non-text
fields.
This commit changes `Field.get_prep_value()` from a no-op to one that
resolved Promise objects. All subclasses now call super() method first
to ensure that they have a real value to work with.
In the combination of .values().aggregate() the aggregate_select_mask
didn't include the aggregates added. This resulted in bogus query.
Thanks to Trac alias debanshuk for report.
There were a couple of places which used Query.join() directly. By
using setup_joins() in these places the code is more DRY, and in
addition there is no need to directly call field.get_joining_columns()
unless the field is the given join_field from get_path_info(). This
makes it easier to make sure a ForeignObject subclass generates joins
correctly in all cases.
The join used by select_related was incorrectly INNER when the query
had an ORed filter for nullable join that was trimmed away. Fixed this
by forcing the join type to LOUTER even when a join was trimmed away
in ORed queries.
The patch for #19385 caused a regression in certain generic relations
.exclude() filters if a subquery was needed. The fix contains a
refactoring to how Query.split_exclude() and Query.trim_start()
interact.
Thanks to Trac alias nferrari for the report.
Correctly calculate the ``aggregate_start`` offset from loaded fields,
if any are deferred, instead of ``self.query.select`` which includes all
fields on the model.
Also made some PEP 8 fixes.
The SubqueryConstraint defined relabeled_clone(), but that was never
called. Instead there is now clone() and relabel_aliases() methods for
SubqueryConstraint.
A related problem was that SubqueryConstraint didn't correctly use
quote_name_unless_alias() of the outer query. This resulted in failures
when running under PostgreSQL.
