#21884: field lookup docs don't say exact is default behavior --------------------------------------+-------------------- Reporter: cjerdonek | Owner: nobody Type: Cleanup/optimization | Status: new Component: Documentation | Version: 1.6 Severity: Normal | Keywords: Triage Stage: Unreviewed | Has patch: 0 Easy pickings: 0 | UI/UX: 0 --------------------------------------+-------------------- The [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/querysets/#field- lookups Field lookups] documentation doesn't mention that `exact` is the default behavior. You have to go to a different [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/queries/#field-lookups introduction page] to get this information, which isn't intuitive.
The reference page should include at least as much as the intro. Indeed, the intro says, "The database API supports about two dozen lookup types; a complete reference can be found in the field lookup reference." -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/21884> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
