Using Django master, for this model `makemigrations` generates an
inefficient migrations file, which uses a combination of `CreateModel` and
`AddField`, rather than just using a single `CreateModel` operation.
{{{#!python
class Aaa(models.Model):
pass
class Foo(models.Model):
fk = models.ForeignKey(Aaa,
on_delete=django.db.models.deletion.CASCADE)
}}}
Resultant migration operations generated by `./manage.py makemigrations`:
{{{#!python
operations = [
migrations.CreateModel(
name='Foo',
fields=[
('id', models.AutoField(auto_created=True,
primary_key=True, serialize=False, verbose_name='ID')),
],
),
migrations.CreateModel(
name='Zzz',
fields=[
('id', models.AutoField(auto_created=True,
primary_key=True, serialize=False, verbose_name='ID')),
],
),
migrations.AddField(
model_name='foo',
name='fk',
field=models.ForeignKey(on_delete=django.db.models.deletion.CASCADE,
to='testapp.Zzz'),
),
]
}}}
However if the `Zzz` model was instead called `Aaa`, then the migration
file is correctly optimised (ie: the `ForeignKey` is defined within the
`CreateModel` operation):
{{{#!python
operations = [
migrations.CreateModel(
name='Aaa',
fields=[
('id', models.AutoField(auto_created=True,
primary_key=True, serialize=False, verbose_name='ID')),
],
),
migrations.CreateModel(
name='Foo',
fields=[
('id', models.AutoField(auto_created=True,
primary_key=True, serialize=False, verbose_name='ID')),
('fk',
models.ForeignKey(on_delete=django.db.models.deletion.CASCADE,
to='testapp.Aaa')),
],
),
]
}}}
Ideally the optimizer would either just use the order as defined in
models.py (which would at least allow for users to order them sensibly),
or else intelligently sort the models such that those with no (or fewer)
foreign keys are listed in `operations` first, thereby reducing the number
of cases where the FK has to be added in a separate `AddField` operation.
