Hi,
I'm trying to optimize the run-time of getting total credit and debt values
out of our database. Ideally I'd like to formulate it as a Django query.
This is the raw SQL query I have, which produces the right answer and is
very fast (milliseconds):
SELECT sum(tg.total) FROM
(
SELECT sum(t.amount) AS total, t.member_id AS member_id
FROM club_transaction AS t
WHERE t.member_id IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY t.member_id
) AS tg
WHERE tg.total < 0
(plus a second query for > 0)
My Django implementation was:
m = Member.objects.annotate(balance=Sum('transaction__amount'))
m_debt = m.filter(balance__lt=0).aggregate(total=Sum('balance'))
m_credit = m.filter(balance__gt=0).aggregate(total=Sum('balance'))
which looks a lot nicer, is easier to understand and maintain.
However, it results in the following SQL query (slightly redacted):
SELECT SUM(balance) FROM
(
SELECT "club_member"."id" AS "id", {all the other fields},
SUM("club_transaction"."amount") AS "balance"
FROM "club_member"
LEFT OUTER JOIN "auth_user" ON ("club_member"."user_id" =
"auth_user"."id")
LEFT OUTER JOIN "club_transaction" ON ("club_member"."id" =
"club_transaction"."member_id")
GROUP BY "club_member"."id", {all the other fields},
"auth_user"."last_name", "auth_user"."first_name"
HAVING SUM("club_transaction"."amount") < 0
ORDER BY "auth_user"."last_name" ASC, "auth_user"."first_name" ASC
) subquery
(again, plus another one for > 0)
which is very slow (almost 1.5 seconds).
How can I construct a Django query which doesn't request (and group by) all
the unnecessary other fields ?
I already tried playing around with only() and values() but never got it to
work.
Looking forward to your responses!
best regards,
ST
