#32838: Migrations create extra index when foreign key is also part of a unique constraint -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: levkk | Owner: nobody Type: | Status: new Cleanup/optimization | Component: Database | Version: 3.2 layer (models, ORM) | Keywords: Severity: Normal | postgres,indexes,unique Triage Stage: | constraint,foreign keys Unreviewed | Has patch: 0 Needs documentation: 0 | Needs tests: 0 Patch needs improvement: 0 | Easy pickings: 0 UI/UX: 0 | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Given a model like so:
{{{ class Person(models.Model): name = models.TextField() class Address(models.Model): person = models.ForeignKey(Person, on_delete=models.PROTECT) street = models.TextField() class Meta: unique_together = ["person", "street"] }}} and a Postgres backend, Django will create two btree indexes, one on the foreign key "person" and another on "person, street" to enforce the unique constraint. In this case, the "person" index is redundant and wasteful since the "person, street" index is sufficient. We can check for the foreign key index being covered by the unique index and not create it if that's the case. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/32838> 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.
