The following SQL finds all posts which haven't any associated tags named 'BadTag'.
select * from post t1
where not exists
(select 1 from tag t2
where t1.id == t2.post_id and t2.name=='BadTag');
How can I write this functionality in Peewee ORM? If I write something along the lines of
Post.select().where(
~Tag.select()
.where(Post.id == Tag.post & Tag.name=='BadTag')
.exists()
)
it gets compiled to
SELECT "t1"."id", ... FROM "post" AS t1 WHERE ? [-1]
Something like
Post.select().join(Tag).where(Tag.name!='BadTag')
doesn't work since a Post can have many Tags.
I'm new to SQL/Peewee so if this is a bad way to go about things I'd welcome pointers.
Do not use manecosta's solution, it is inefficient.
Here is how to do a NOT EXISTS with a subquery:
(Post
.select()
.where(~fn.EXISTS(
Tag.select().where(
(Tag.post == Post.id) & (Tag.name == 'BadTag'))))
You can also do a join:
(Post
.select(Post, fn.COUNT(Tag.id))
.join(Tag, JOIN.LEFT_OUTER)
.where(Tag.name == 'BadTag')
.group_by(Post)
.having(fn.COUNT(Tag.id) == 0))
