Comment (by WoLpH):
@calvinspealman: it is called '''get'''_or_create isn't it? All of the
Django code that uses it makes the assumption that it is always available
and just falls back to creating if it is indeed new. And as you can see in
the code, it is implemented as such. It does a get with a fallback to
create. In your case it would be a create with a fallback to get if you
get an integrity error.
@kmtracey: You are right, it all depends on your replication method which
it why this code has been working flawlessly for me so far. Regardless,
the current system definately breaks any kind of master slave setup which
is just silly.
Perhaps the current database routers need an extra method for that. Right
now we have the `db_for_write` and `db_for_read` but in this case it might
be useful to have a `db_for_realtime_read` or something. Assuming that the
database which you write to is also the one you want to read from is not
in all cases right.
