Re: Optimal query for related names in onetomany or manytomany using Django Queryset

There are a couple options you could try to see which is the best fit for your data. With DEBUG=True in settings.py you can check the actual queries and process time. It depends on the sizes of A and B. Another query you can run is:

A.objects.exclude(id__in=B.objects.all().values_list('a_id', flat=True))

When I tried, it seemed to be about the same speed with my test data as the one you had A.objects.filter(bs__isnull=True).

To see what queries are generated and the query time with DEBUG=True:

Open your Django Python Shell

>>> A.objects.exclude(id__in=B.objects.all().values_list('a_id', flat=True))

>>> A.objects.filter(bs__isnull=True)

>>> from django.db import connection

>>> for q in connection.queries:

>>>     print("{0}: {1}".format(q['sql'], q['time']))

This will show you both queries generated and how long it took to get a response from your DB.

You can also write raw SQL, if you can make one more efficiently.

How long? At first glance it doesn't look like a complex query or something particularly inefficient for a DB.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for your response. I was pondering on option a before posting this query thinking there could be better ways in django/SQL to handle this. But now I would probably go with a.

Thanks.

a) Maybe its an option to put the foreign key to the other model? This way you dont need to make a join to find out if there is a relation.

b) Save the existing ralation status to model A

c) cache the A.objects.filter(bs__isnull=False) query

But apart from that i fear you cannot do much more, since this is just a DB and not a Django ORM question.

Hi,

I am trying to optimise Django queries on my ecommerce website. One of the fundamental query is where I have no clue how to make efficient. It could be trivial and probably been known long time back. But I am new to Django and would appreciate any help. This is primarily for one to many or many to many relations.

Following is an example scenario:

(Please pardon my syntax as I want to put across the concept and not the exact django code unless it's really needed):

Model A:

class A(models.Model):

    # Fields of model A

Model B (which is related to A with foreign key):

class B(models.Model):

    a = models.ForeignKey('A', related_name='bs')

Now I would like to find out all As for which there is atleast one b. The only way I know is as follows:

A.objects.filter(bs__isnull=False)

But the above isn't an optimal way as with large of records in A and B, the above takes lot of time. It gets more inefficient if it's a many to many relationship.

Could anyone please let me know the most efficient way to use django queryset for the above scenario?

Thanks.
