Hi, I want to get all objects where the corresponding many-to-many field is empty.
Example: get all users without a group My solution: User.objects.exclude(groups__in=Group.objects.all()) I think this is not optimal, since Group.objects.all() gets evaluated. Resulting SQL: SELECT "auth_user"."id", "auth_user"."username", "auth_user"."first_name", "auth_user"."last_name", "auth_user"."email", "auth_user"."password", "auth_user"."is_staff", "auth_user"."is_active", "auth_user"."is_superuser", "auth_user"."last_login", "auth_user"."date_joined" FROM "auth_user" WHERE NOT ("auth_user"."id" IN (SELECT U1."user_id" FROM "auth_user" U0 INNER JOIN "auth_user_groups" U1 ON (U0."id" = U1."user_id") WHERE U1."group_id" IN (9, 10, 11, 8))) LIMIT 21 Any better way to do this? Should the extra() method be used for this?
