Description

I'm using UUIDs for the primary keys of some models. Other models relate to those via FK. I ran into an issue today when trying to do a RelatedModel.objects.update(fk=instance_with_uuid_pk), where SQLite failed with

Traceback (most recent call last):

Examining the SQLite table showed a CHAR32 column for the UUID and FK fields, which seems appropriate since SQLite doesn't have a UUID column like postgres. Then I traced execution of the query and found that the params being sent to SQLite was still a UUID, not the hex representation.

Inserting the primary models and related models works fine, so it seems to be an issue with updates. It looks like the SQLUpdateCompiler calls prepare_database_save(field) when a model instance is give as the query value. That just returns the value of the related field, which is just a UUID in this case. This is passed along for execution, where SQLite pukes.

However, if you pass a UUID as the value (not a model instance), field.get_db_prep_save is called which will convert the UUID to its hex value if the DB doesn't support native UUIDs. Thus, updates given a raw UUID work fine.

So it seems like all that needs to change is that we need to call field.get_db_prep_save on the value returned from val.prepare_database_save. I've attached a patch that does this.

We might put the tests in tests/model_fields/test_uuid.py so we can reuse existing models. Are you able to send a pull request? This also seems to fix #24608.

Sure, here's a PR with tests moved and reusing existing test models. https://github.com/django/django/pull/4474
