My book class uses a many-to-many field to save its readers. If I want to remove a reader from some books, I can use a loop to go through all book objects to remove the reader. But it's too slow. Is it possible to do it in a bulk operation?
class Book(models.Model):
readers = models.ManyToManyField(User, related_name='books')
#Remove reader 'foo' from book 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. However, it is slow.
for book in Book.objects.filter(id__in=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
book.readers.remove(R)
