Django - getting object by its related fields'

问题:

Let's assume we have following models:

from django.db import models

class Foo(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)

class Bar(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)

class Zomg(models.Model):
    foo = models.ForeignKey(Foo)
    bar = models.ForeignKey(Bar)

In Zomg model foo and bar fields serve as composite key, that is, for any pair of (foo, bar) there is only one Zomg object.

In my project I need to update thousands of Zomg records from time to time, so efficiency of finding records is important. The problem is that I cannot just pass foo_id and bar_id to Zomg.objects.get() method:

>>> z = models.Zomg.objects.get(foo_id=1, bar_id=1)
Traceback (most recent call last):

    clone.query.add_q(Q(*args, **kwargs))

    "Choices are: %s" % (name, ", ".join(names)))
FieldError: Cannot resolve keyword 'foo_id' into field. Choices are: bar, foo, id

However, when the object is instantiated foo_id and bar_id are pretty much accessible:

>>> z.foo_id
1
>>> z.bar_id
1

Now I'm forced to get Foo and Bar objects first and then use them to get the required Zomg object, making two unnecessary database queries:

>>> f = models.Foo.objects.get(id=1)
>>> b = models.Bar.objects.get(id=1)
>>> z = models.Zomg.objects.get(foo=f, bar=b)

So the question is, how can I get Zomg object by its related fields' IDs?

回答1:

Try this: z = models.Zomg.objects.get(foo__id=1, bar__id=1)
