Autoinkrementliknande fält för objekt med samma främmande nyckel (Django 1.8, MySQL 5.5)

Det slutade med att jag löste problemet genom att konstruera och köra en rå SQL-fråga för att göra autoinkrement och infogning i en enda databastransaktion. Jag tillbringade mycket tid med att leta igenom Django-källkoden för att förstå hur deras standardmodellssparningsmetod fungerar så att jag kunde göra detta så robust som möjligt. Jag förväntar mig dock fullt ut att detta kommer att behöva modifieras för backends som inte är MySQL.

Först skapade jag en abstrakt klass som ObjectLog nu kommer ifrån, som innehåller den här nya sparmetoden:

class AutoIncrementModel(models.Model):
    """
    An abstract class used as a base for classes which need the
    autoincrementing save method described below.
    """
    class Meta:
        abstract = True

    def save(self, auto_field, auto_fk, *args, **kwargs):
        """
        Arguments:
            auto_field: name of field which acts as an autoincrement field.
            auto_fk:    name of ForeignKey to which the auto_field is relative.
        """

        # Do normal save if this is not an insert (i.e., the instance has a
        # primary key already).
        meta = self.__class__._meta
        pk_set = self._get_pk_val(meta) is not None
        if pk_set:
            super(ObjectLog, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
            return

        # Otherwise, we'll generate some raw SQL to do the
        # insert and auto-increment.

        # Get model fields, except for primary key field.
        fields = meta.local_concrete_fields
        if not pk_set:
            fields = [f for f in fields if not
                isinstance(f, models.fields.AutoField)]

        # Setup for generating base SQL query for doing an INSERT.
        query = models.sql.InsertQuery(self.__class__._base_manager.model)
        query.insert_values(fields, objs=[self])
        compiler = query.get_compiler(using=self.__class__._base_manager.db)
        compiler.return_id = meta.has_auto_field and not pk_set

        fk_name = meta.get_field(auto_fk).column
        with compiler.connection.cursor() as cursor:
            # Get base SQL query as string.
            for sql, params in compiler.as_sql():
                # compiler.as_sql() looks like:
                # INSERT INTO `table_objectlog` VALUES (%s,...,%s)
                # We modify this to do:
                # INSERT INTO `table_objectlog` SELECT %s,...,%s FROM
                # `table_objectlog` WHERE `object_id`=id
                # NOTE: it's unlikely that the following will generate
                # a functional database query for non-MySQL backends.

                # Replace VALUES (%s, %s, ..., %s) with
                # SELECT %s, %s, ..., %s
                sql = re.sub(r"VALUES \((.*)\)", r"SELECT \1", sql)

                # Add table to SELECT from and ForeignKey id corresponding to
                # our autoincrement field.
                sql += " FROM `{tbl_name}` WHERE `{fk_name}`={fk_id}".format(
                    tbl_name=meta.db_table,
                    fk_name=fk_name,
                    fk_id=getattr(self, fk_name)
                    )

                # Get index corresponding to auto_field.
                af_idx = [f.name for f in fields].index(auto_field)
                # Put this directly in the SQL. If we use parameter
                # substitution with cursor.execute, it gets quoted
                # as a literal, which causes the SQL command to fail.
                # We shouldn't have issues with SQL injection because
                # auto_field should never be a user-defined parameter.
                del params[af_idx]
                sql = re.sub(r"((%s, ){{{0}}})%s".format(af_idx),
                r"\1IFNULL(MAX({af}),0)+1", sql, 1).format(af=auto_field)

                # IFNULL(MAX({af}),0)+1 is the autoincrement SQL command,
                # {af} is substituted as the column name.

                # Execute SQL command.
                cursor.execute(sql, params)

            # Get primary key from database and set it in memory.
            if compiler.connection.features.can_return_id_from_insert:
                id = compiler.connection.ops.fetch_returned_insert_id(cursor)
            else:
                id = compiler.connection.ops.last_insert_id(cursor,
                    meta.db_table, meta.pk.column)
            self._set_pk_val(id)

            # Refresh object in memory in order to get auto_field value.
            self.refresh_from_db()

Sedan använder ObjectLog-modellen detta som:

class ObjectLog(AutoIncrementModel):
    class Meta:
        ordering = ['-created','-N']
        unique_together = ("object","N")
    object = models.ForeignKey(Object, null=False)                                                                                                                                                              
    created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    issuer = models.ForeignKey(User)
    N = models.IntegerField(null=False)

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        # Set up to call save method of the base class (AutoIncrementModel)
        kwargs.update({'auto_field': 'N', 'auto_fk': 'event'})
        super(EventLog, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

Detta gör att anrop till ObjectLog.save() fortfarande fungerar som förväntat.
