I'm setting up a testing environment for work, using fixtures to save
|
|
and load test data and I got a little stumped by something I ran into.
|
|
|
|
I had exported one of the database tables we use to a json file that I
|
|
was going to import into a fresh new database to test with. When I
|
|
imported it everything seemed fine, except when looking at the actual
|
|
page. So this is what I found:
|
|
|
|
[[!format sql """
|
|
SELECT * FROM app_table;
|
|
=> 3 rows of data
|
|
"""]]
|
|
|
|
[[!format py """
|
|
from app.models import Table
|
|
|
|
Table.objects.count()
|
|
=> 3
|
|
|
|
Table.objects.all()
|
|
=> []
|
|
"""]]
|
|
|
|
This is weird. So I looked at the `django.db.connection.queries`
|
|
property and I realized that it was doing a join since the model
|
|
subclasses another:
|
|
|
|
[[!format py """
|
|
from django.db import models
|
|
|
|
from app.models import SuperTable
|
|
|
|
class Table(SuperTable):...
|
|
"""]]
|
|
|
|
Which, of course, means that in order to get the complete `Table`
|
|
instance, the related `SuperTable` instance is also required, but in
|
|
order to do a `COUNT` of `app_table` it isn't necessary. And that's
|
|
where the inconsistency came from, now that I've also copied the
|
|
contents of `SuperTable` everything is fine again.
