Hi all
I dont know if its a django bug or a feature but i have a strange ORM behaviour with MySQL.
class Status(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length = 50)
class Article(models.Model)
status = models.ForeignKey(status, blank = True, null=True)
filters = Q(status__in =[0, 1,2] ) | Q(status=None)
items = Article.objects.filter(filters)
this returns Article items but some have other status than requested [0,1,2,None]
looking at the sql query :
SELECT [..] FROM `app_article` LEFT OUTER JOIN `app_status` ON (`app_article`.`status_id` = `app_status`.`id`) WHERE (`app_article`.`status_id` IN (1, 2) OR `app_status`.`id` IS NULL) ORDER BY [...]
the OR app_status.id IS NULL part seems to be the cause. if i change it to OR app_article.status_id IS NULL it works correctly.
How to deal with this ?
Thanx.
