Database backends like Postgresql support doing multiple value update for
the same field in different rows using a single update query. Please see
this sample below:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18797608/update-multiple-rows-in-same-
query-using-postgresql
Example:
Currently:
{{{
Books.objects.all().update(price=10)
}}}
Proposed (syntax can vary):
{{{
Books.objects.all().update({'pk': 1, 'price': 10}, {'pk': 2, 'price':
25}])
}}}
Idea is to do it in sql for performance reasons but still use the ORM and
not use a raw database connection.
However, such an interface is not exposed via the Django ORM. Would this
be accepted as a patch? if so, would a list dictionary with the various
fields:values to be updated be a good way to provide the input to ORM
