New description: 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 Zzz(models.Model): pass class Foo(models.Model): fk = models.ForeignKey(Zzz, 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. -- -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/27768#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.
