When I try to get all objects of my model FabricCategory, it returns some duplicates. I've found unnecessary LEFT OUTER JOIN in sql query:
python manage.py shell_plus --print-sql
>>> FabricCategory.objects.all()
SELECT `product_fabriccategory`.`id`,
`product_fabriccategory`.`price_impact`,
`product_fabriccategory`.`code`,
`product_fabriccategory`.`active`
FROM `product_fabriccategory`
LEFT OUTER JOIN `product_fabriccategoryfabric`
ON (`product_fabriccategory`.`id` = `product_fabriccategoryfabric`.`fabriccategory_id`)
ORDER BY `product_fabriccategoryfabric`.`position` ASC,
`product_fabriccategoryfabric`.`fabriccategory_id` ASC
LIMIT 21
Here's my setup:
class FabricCategoryFabric(models.Model):
fabriccategory = models.ForeignKey(
'FabricCategory', related_name='fabriccategory_fabrics', on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING, null=True)
fabric = models.ForeignKey(
'Fabric', related_name='fabriccategory_fabrics', on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING, null=True, blank=True)
position = models.IntegerField(default=0)
class Meta:
ordering = ['position', 'fabriccategory_id']
class FabricCategory(models.Model):
price_impact = models.FloatField(default=1)
code = models.CharField(unique=True, max_length=50, null=True)
active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
fabrics = models.ManyToManyField(
'Fabric', related_name='fabric_fabriccategory',
through='FabricCategoryFabric',
through_fields=('fabriccategory', 'fabric'))
class Meta:
verbose_name_plural = "fabric categories"
ordering = ['fabriccategory_fabrics']
def __str__(self):
return str(self.price_impact)
class Fabric(models.Model):
fabric_category = models.ForeignKey(
FabricCategory, null=True, on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING)
reference = models.CharField(unique=True, max_length=50)
content = models.TextField(blank=True)
thumbnail = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True)
active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.reference
class Meta:
ordering = ['fabric_fabriccategory']
Did anybody encounter and solve this problem already? I'm using: Django 2.1.1 mysqlclient 1.3.13 Database engine django.db.backends.mysql
Since you're specifying ordering = ['fabric_fabriccategory']
all queries by default will make a join to the table for FabricCategoryFabric
