Hello Brice,

Here is the query I sent today, which  improves my first suggestion:

1. WITH
2.   maybe_found AS (SELECT * FROM t WHERE t.name='nameD'),
3.   to_be_inserted AS (SELECT 'nameD' as "name", 'comment13' as "comment"),
4.  just_inserted AS (
5.         INSERT INTO t (name, comment) SELECT * FROM to_be_inserted
6.                        WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM maybe_found)
7.         RETURNING *)
8. SELECT *, FALSE as "created" FROM maybe_found UNION ALL
9. SELECT *, TRUE AS "created" FROM just_inserted LIMIT 2;

INSERT from line 5 is only performed, if the data is not already in the database, as stated on line 6 (WHERE NOT EXISTS).

The column "created" from the result states, if the data was inserted or was already there before the call.

Regards
   Дилян

I'm not sure I got this right, but it seems to me that using get_or_create() is not the same thing as inserting or failing to do so, then getting the always existing data.

If there is no unicity in the fields we use for the get_or_create (because of bad design, uncommon scenario, database created elsewhere or imported using inspectdb, etc.), with get_or_create, we don't create a new entry, while with on_conflict=IGNORE, we do (correct me if I'm wrong, or if I didn't get something), because this insertion is not creating any conflict.

Also, with this, would we get the info if the element has been inserted or if it already existed (the return of the insert seems to provide the info, but I'm not sure) ?

Your idea about ignoring conflicts in bulk_create is a great idea, i've made a merge request that attempts to implements this. If anyone has any time to review it it would be much appreciated.

I couldn't find a very elegant way of adding it though - Sqlite and mysql need something added just after the INSERT, whereas postgres needs something added after the values but before the RETURNING statement. Oracle doesn't support this as far as I'm aware.

Silence is rarely an agreement on a mailing list, certainly not regarding a proposed new feature or potentially breaking change. Code speaks louder than words though :)

    Hello,

    Qui tacet consentire videtur.

    I agree there is still a concurrency problem with the approach I
    suggested.  INSERT ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE might not work, if the
    simultaneously inserted object has for some reason other default
    values, that the current object, so that DO UPDATE will overwrite
    the data.  I am not talking about other backends.

    Another idea to start with:

    1. Add on_conflict=IGNORE parameter to bulk_create() -
    https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28668
    <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28668>

    The problem is that in order to insert a lot of data in a database
    fast, a single INSERT must be sent, but it fails if any of the
    records were already in the database, so if this could happen, one
    has to iterate over the input and do a separate INSERT for each
    object, but this is slower than a single INSERT.

    However with something like INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING
    (which varies in the different RDBMs) the database is instructed
    to absorb all the data that is not already there.

    2. Afterwards extend bulk_create(..., on_conflict=IGNORE) to
    detect for Postgresql which objects were actually added, as
    described at
    https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-developers/wdHIYdQHO_0
    <https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21topic/django-developers/wdHIYdQHO_0>
    , and return only those.

        Hello,

        Since I haven't seen positive feedback from a committer, I'm
        not convinced there's consensus about this change.

        Also this doesn't look like a particularly easy topic for a
        beginner. It raises the following questions:

        - INSERT ON CONFLICT UPDATE would likely be a better option on
        Postgres ≥ 9.5, wouldn't it?
        - what about other databases with built-in backends?
        third-party backends?
        - is this implementation really appropriate at any isolation
        level?
        - what are the consequences for performance?

        Best regards,

-- Aymeric.

            Hello Muhereza,

            I assume you understand by now Django quite well and are
        willing to
            give something "in return".

            Currently QuerySet.get_or_create() consists of two SQL
        commands:
            SELECT + optional INSERT.  They cause a concurrent problem, if
            another get_or_create() is called between the SQL statements.

            With the Postgresql backend it is possible to reduce the
        queries to
            a single one.

            Consider this table:

            CREATE TABLE t (
                id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
                name VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
                comment VARCHAR(10));

            The following query can do what get_or_create() currently
        achieves:

            WITH
               maybe_found AS (SELECT * FROM t WHERE t.name
        <http://t.name>
            <http://t.name>='nameD'),

               to_be_inserted AS (SELECT 'nameD' as "name", 'comment13' as
            "comment"),
               just_inserted AS (
                      INSERT INTO t (name, comment) SELECT * FROM
        to_be_inserted
                                     WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM
        maybe_found)
                      RETURNING *)
            SELECT *, FALSE as "created" FROM maybe_found UNION ALL
            SELECT *, TRUE AS "created" FROM just_inserted LIMIT 2;

            where "to_be_inserted' contains the values for the new object
            ('default' parameter of get_or_create) and 'nameB' in
        maybe_found is
            the criterion passed to get().

            The challenge is to integrate the WITH ... SELECT query in
        Django.     As guidance I can only suggest looking at the
        existing code.

            Regards
                Дилян
