Provides =ANY(ARRAY(xxx)) instead of IN (xxx)
Documentation
This library is designed for Postgres. It enables developers to cope with problem when Postgres doesn't use indexes with long IN () statements.
Usually, when you try to do a query:
SELECT a.* FROM a
WHERE a.id NOT IN (
SELECT b.id FROM b
)You expect that it will be used index on a.id. Unfortunately, it doesn't work.
There is a trick to make Postgres do it by rewritten query this way:
SELECT a.* FROM a
WHERE a.id=ANY(ARRAY(SELECT b.id FROM b))This library allows you to use this statement. Examples:
"""
SELECT * FROM mymodel WHERE somefield=ANY([1, 2, 3])
"""
MyModel.objects.filter(somefield__any_arr=[1, 2, 3])
"""
SELECT * FROM mymodel WHERE somefield=ANY(ARRAY(SELECT somefield FROM modelb))
"""
subquery = Subquery(model_b__instances.values('somefield'))
MyModel.objects.filter(somefield__any=subquery)Quickstart
