Re: Fast and Easy way to check if an instance of an Model exists in the Database

well you have a problem then, the database is the one holding the data, if you want to know if the data exists will would need to ask the one responsible for it, if not the DB then who?

you could keep a copy in memory but then you will have two problems. are you actually having problems with exists() or is this just premature optimization?

I don't do, because I don't want do to have a query against the database.

Wait-- Why aren't you using exists()?  Don't even check the pk.  Model.query.exists() was made for this.
