Description
This definitely needs to be tested on a large DB but I believe it may fix the timeouts b.s. gets when running user exports.
Instead of a gigantic single DB query with heaps of joins, we instead just do a series of simple queries and then use
union()
to pull them into a de-duped queryset.If I understand the results from
explain()
correctly, this is a massive reduction in DB work:Unique (cost=195899.15..198201.71 rows=11808 width=19220)
vs
Unique (cost=150.28..153.44 rows=16 width=19220)
