Given the models below:
{{{
class House(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
class Room(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
house = models.ForeignKey(House, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
}}}
The following query fails:
{{{
houses_with_suites = House.objects.filter(room__name__icontains='suite')
Room.objects.filter(house__in=houses_with_suites).update(name='suite')
}}}
With this error:
{{{
OperationalError: (1093, "You can't specify target table 'mysql_test_room'
for update in FROM clause")
}}}
I think this has been around for a while (#20300).
I've confirmed this only happens in MySQL. It works on PostgresSQL and
SQLite.
