Description
I Create the Following Models:
class Base1( models.Model ): b1_id = models.AutoField( primary_key=True ) b1_desc = models.CharField( max_length=100 ) class Base2( models.Model ): b2_id = models.AutoField( primary_key=True ) b2_desc = models.CharField( max_length=100 ) class Base3( models.Model ): b3_id = models.AutoField( primary_key=True ) b3_desc = models.CharField( max_length=100 ) class Middle( Base1, Base2, Base3 ): m_desc = models.CharField( max_length=100 ) class Top( Middle ): t_desc = models.CharField( max_length=100 )
I run this:
d = Top1.objects.all() print d.query
I get:
SELECT "Test_base1"."b1_id", "Test_base1"."b1_desc", "Test_base2"."b2_id", "Test_base2"."b2_desc", "Test_base3"."b3_id", "Test_base3"."b3_desc", "Test_middle"."base3_ptr_id", "Test_middle"."base2_ptr_id", "Test_middle"."base1_ptr_id", "Test_middle"."m_desc", "Test_top1"."middle_ptr_id", "Test_top1"."t1_desc" FROM "Test_top1" INNER JOIN "Test_base1" ON ("Test_top1"."middle_ptr_id" = "Test_base1"."b1_id") INNER JOIN "Test_base2" ON ("Test_top1"."middle_ptr_id" = "Test_base2"."b2_id") INNER JOIN "Test_base3" ON ("Test_top1"."middle_ptr_id" = "Test_base3"."b3_id") INNER JOIN "Test_middle" ON ("Test_top1"."middle_ptr_id" = "Test_middle"."base1_ptr_id")
It refers the top object directly to the base objects. I would expect:
FROM "Test_top1" INNER JOIN "Test_middle" ON ("Test_top1"."middle_ptr_id" = "Test_middle"."base1_ptr_id") INNER JOIN "Test_base1" ON ("Test_middle"."base1_ptr_id" = "Test_base1"."b1_id") INNER JOIN "Test_base2" ON ("Test_middle"."base2_ptr_id" = "Test_base2"."b2_id") INNER JOIN "Test_base3" ON ("Test_middle"."base3_ptr_id" = "Test_base3"."b3_id")
This would normally not be a problem, however if I create a Top2 object or a Middle, now the ptr_ids will not all be incrementing at the same rate.

Here is an Example model and unit test to demonstrate the issue
models.py
from django.db import models class Base1( models.Model ): b1_id = models.AutoField( primary_key=True ) b1_desc = models.CharField( max_length=100 ) class Base2( models.Model ): b2_id = models.AutoField( primary_key=True ) b2_desc = models.CharField( max_length=100 ) class Middle1( Base1, Base2 ): m1_desc = models.CharField( max_length=100 ) class Middle2( Base2 ): m2_desc = models.CharField( max_length=100 ) class Top1( Middle1 ): t1_desc = models.CharField( max_length=100 ) class Top2( Middle2 ): t2_desc = models.CharField( max_length=100 )
test.py
from django.test import TestCase from demo.demoapp.models import * class DemoAppTests( TestCase ): def top1_only( self ): tmp = Top1() tmp.b1_desc = 'b1 1' tmp.b2_desc = 'b2 1' tmp.m1_desc = 'm1 1' tmp.t1_desc = 't1 1' tmp.save() tmp = Top2() tmp.b2_desc = 'b2 2' tmp.m2_desc = 'm2 2' tmp.t2_desc = 't2 2' tmp.save() tmp = Top1() tmp.b1_desc = 'b1 3' tmp.b2_desc = 'b2 3' tmp.m1_desc = 'm1 3' tmp.t1_desc = 't1 3' tmp.save() tmp = Top1.objects.get( b1_desc='b1 1' ) print '%s %s %s %s' % ( tmp.b1_desc, tmp.b2_desc, tmp.m1_desc, tmp.t1_desc ) tmp = Top2.objects.get( b2_desc='b2 2' ) print '%s %s %s' % ( tmp.b2_desc, tmp.m2_desc, tmp.t2_desc ) tmp = Top1.objects.get( b1_desc='b1 3' ) print '%s %s %s %s' % ( tmp.b1_desc, tmp.b2_desc, tmp.m1_desc, tmp.t1_desc ) self.failUnlessEqual( tmp.b1_desc, 'b2 3' )

The output is:
b1 1 b2 1 m1 1 t1 1
b2 2 m2 2 t2 2
b1 3 b2 2 m1 3 t1 3
it should be
b1 1 b2 1 m1 1 t1 1
b2 2 m2 2 t2 2
b1 3 b2 3 m1 3 t1 3

This patch seems to satisfy the unit test. The patch includes the test, and also includes an extra test to make sure all the ancestors are joined in. I added another parameter to get_ancestor_link in options.py. I noticed that the only other place it is used is django/contrib/gis/db/models/sql/compiler.py, I don't know if that code also needs to be updated to handle grandparent joining correctly or not.

Any word if this patch will be considered and Merged?
The next step here is for someone other than the patch author to review the patch and try it out. If they think the code looks ok, and can verify that it solves the problem and all tests pass, they can mark it Ready For Checkin and that will help bring it to the attention of a core developer for commit. Feel free to recruit someone to do that if you want to move things along!

I just checked and the patch doesn't apply now as some tests got moved from tests/regressiontests/queries to tests/queries

According to a comment on #17695, this patch fixes that issue so I marked it as a duplicate.

I believe this god fixed but it's hard to pinpoint exactly what commit did it.
Using the provided testcase from comment:6, I was able to bisect but it seems that the issue got fixed in two separate steps. Here's a rough timeline:
0) (this issue is reported). Django is at 1.4 and the testcase fails with something like AssertionError: u'appname_top' != 'appname_middle'
.
1) Enters commit 68985db48212c701a3d975636123a5d79bdc006f (part of the 1.6 release which changes the error: OperationalError: no such column: appname_middle.b2_id
2) Finally with commit 38e24d680d28b92997def9ab46a961d09bb81dce (1.7 release), the testcase passes.
The test added with 38e24d680d28b92997def9ab46a961d09bb81dce is not exactly the same as the one attached to this ticket but I'm pretty confident that they're similar enough:
- Both involve a 3-step inheritance chain with multiple inheritance in the middle model.
- Both test raise the same error prior to the fix (
OperationalError: no such column: appname_middle.b2_id
)
Therefore I think this ticket can be marked as fixed.
Are you sure the ptr_ids are going to increment at "different rates"? Those two queries are functionally equivalent - since ptr_id is always the same across all objects - and only the base class will define the PK value used for a new object.
I'm closing this as invalid - it needs a code/console example on what exactly the problem is with IDs before I can understand what the problem is supposed to be.
