I have this one-to-many relation models [each domain can have several kpis]. i use MySQL DB.
class Domains(models.Model):
class Meta:
managed = True
db_table = 'edison_domains'
id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
name = models.CharField(max_length=50, unique=True)
display_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
description = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
class Kpis(models.Model):
class Meta:
managed = True
db_table = 'edison_kpis'
id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
name = models.CharField(max_length=50, unique=True)
MORE FIELDS...
domain_id = models.ForeignKey(Domains, on_delete=models.CASCADE, db_column='domain_id')
What i want is to present for each domain, the list of its KPIs.
I tried lots of combinations of select_related
and prefetch_related
but it always end up that the DB perform a query for each domain, instead of 1 or 2 queries. I tried to read about it here.
My main goal is to reduce the number of DB calls and improve the overall performance time.
My current code:
(views.py)
class DomainsAndKpisDescriptionsPage(View):
def __init__(self):
self.resource = 'domains_kpis_descriptions'
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
final_list = []
domains_list = Domains.objects.all().prefetch_related('kpis_set').order_by('display_name')
kpis = Kpis.objects.select_related('domain_id').values('id', 'display_name', 'number_display_format', 'description', 'calculation_type').order_by('display_name')
for domain in domains_list:
# For each domain, get all related KPIs
domain_kpis = kpis.prefetch_related('domain_id').filter(domain_id=domain.id).order_by('domain_display_order')
final_list.append({'name':domain.name,
'display_name':domain.display_name,
'description':domain.description,
'kpis':domain_kpis})
context = {'domains_and_kpis_data':final_list}
return render(request,
'tests_details/domains_kpis_descriptions.html',
context=context)
And my HTML template
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-3 col-xlg-2 col-md-4">
<div class="stickyside">
<h3> Domains </h3>
<div class="list-group" id="top-menu">
{% for domain in domains_and_kpis_data %}
<a href="#{{ domain.name }}" class="list-group-item {% if forloop.counter0 == 0 %} active {% endif %}">{{ domain.display_name }}</a>
{% endfor %}
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-9 col-xlg-10 col-md-8">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-body">
{% for domain in domains_and_kpis_data %}
<div style="padding:10px;">
<h3 class="card-title text-themecolor kpi_header" id="{{ domain.name }}">{{ domain.display_name }} <font size="3"> ({{ domain.kpis|length }} KPIs) </font></h3>
<h6 class="text-themecolor">{{ domain.description }}</h6>
</div>
<table class="table table-bordered">
<thead>
<tr>
<th width="30%">KPI</th>
<th width="10%">Type</th>
<th width="60%">Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
{% for kpi in domain.kpis %}
<tr>
<th> {{ kpi.display_name }} </th>
<th> {{ kpi.calculation_type }} </th>
<th> {{ kpi.description }} </th>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>
{% endfor %}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Say i have 14 domains - the DB performs 14 queries. attached is an image from Django Debug Toolbar:
