Hi,

I want to get all objects where the corresponding many-to-many field is
empty.

Example:  get all users without a group

My solution:
   User.objects.exclude(groups__in=Group.objects.all())

I think this is not optimal, since Group.objects.all() gets evaluated.
 
Resulting SQL:

SELECT "auth_user"."id", "auth_user"."username",
    "auth_user"."first_name", "auth_user"."last_name",
"auth_user"."email", "auth_user"."password", "auth_user"."is_staff",
    "auth_user"."is_active", "auth_user"."is_superuser",
"auth_user"."last_login", "auth_user"."date_joined" FROM "auth_user" WHERE
    NOT ("auth_user"."id" IN (SELECT U1."user_id" FROM "auth_user" U0
INNER JOIN "auth_user_groups" U1 ON (U0."id" = U1."user_id")
    WHERE U1."group_id" IN (9, 10, 11, 8))) LIMIT 21

Any better way to do this?

Should the extra() method be used for this?

  Thomas
