Hi, since obj.delete() uses "on delete cascade", I want to see first which instances still have a reference to obj (and would get deleted).
I write this little helper. Comments welcome: def all_related_instances(instance): """ Return all instances which have a relation to this instance. You can check this list before instance.delete(), since all returned instances would get deleted, too (ON DELETE CASCADE) """ assert isinstance(instance, models.Model) meta=instance._meta related=[] for related_object in meta.get_all_related_objects()+meta.get_all_related_many_to_many_objects(): attr = getattr(instance, related_object.get_accessor_name()) related.extend(attr.all()) return related -- Thomas Güttler, http://www.tbz-pariv.de/ Bernsdorfer Str. 210-212, 09126 Chemnitz, Tel.: 0371/5347-917 TBZ-PARIV GmbH Geschäftsführer: Dr. Reiner Wohlgemuth Sitz der Gesellschaft: Chemnitz Registergericht: Chemnitz HRB 8543 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
