New description: There are some different ways for doing subqueries in the ORM currently. `Query.split_exclude()`, subqueries in deletion, `as_nested_sql()` and `SubqueryConstraint` seem to do something similar. Sometimes there are duplicated code paths, sometimes upper layers do something the lower layers will repeat later on. I think every instance where a subquery constraint is needed should use the `SubqueryConstraint` class either directly, or through `QuerySet.filter()` or `sql.Query.build_filter()`. This will allow doing all the somewhat complicated setup in one place. -- -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/20127#comment:2> 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.
