When inserting different pairs of objects into

:attr:`~django.db.models.ManyToManyField.through` table is defined, use
:meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.bulk_create()` method to reduce the
number of SQL queries. For example::
PizzaToppingRelationship = Pizza.toppings.through
PizzaToppingRelationship.objects.bulk_create([
PizzaToppingRelationship(pizza=my_pizza, topping=pepperoni),
PizzaToppingRelationship(pizza=your_pizza, topping=pepperoni),
PizzaToppingRelationship(pizza=your_pizza, topping=mushroom),
], ignore_conflicts=True)
...is preferable to::
my_pizza.toppings.add(pepperoni)

there are a number of :meth:`caveats to this method
<django.db.models.query.QuerySet.bulk_create>`, so make sure it's appropriate
for your use case.
Remove in bulk
--------------
When removing objects from :class:`ManyToManyFields
<django.db.models.ManyToManyField>`, use
:meth:`~django.db.models.fields.related.RelatedManager.remove` with multiple
objects to reduce the number of SQL queries. For example::
my_band.members.remove(me, my_friend)
...is preferable to::
my_band.members.remove(me)
my_band.members.remove(my_friend)
...where ``Bands`` and ``Artists`` have a many-to-many relationship.
When removing different pairs of objects from :class:`ManyToManyFields
<django.db.models.ManyToManyField>`, use
:meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.delete` on a
:class:`~django.db.models.Q` expression with multiple
:attr:`~django.db.models.ManyToManyField.through` model instances to reduce
the number of SQL queries. For example::
from django.db.models import Q
PizzaToppingRelationship = Pizza.toppings.through
PizzaToppingRelationship.objects.filter(
Q(pizza=my_pizza, topping=pepperoni) |
Q(pizza=your_pizza, topping=pepperoni) |
Q(pizza=your_pizza, topping=mushroom)
).delete()
...is preferable to::
my_pizza.toppings.remove(pepperoni)
your_pizza.toppings.remove(pepperoni, mushroom)
...where ``Pizza`` and ``Topping`` have a many-to-many relationship.
