Description (last modified by )
if you try to call distinct on an annotated query, it sometimes works, sometimes get's ignore, and sometimes raises an error.
I had a query facing all three scenarios and solving the last one was the one that worked out.
the error being raised is:
NotImplementedError: annotate() + distinct(fields) is not implemented.
after looking at the source code for the exception at django.db.models.sql.compiler.SQLCompiler
row 594
if grouping: if distinct_fields: raise NotImplementedError('annotate() + distinct(fields) is not implemented.') order_by = order_by or self.connection.ops.force_no_ordering() result.append('GROUP BY %s' % ', '.join(grouping)) # rest of the as_sql() method
after just removing the distinct_fields condition:
if grouping: order_by = order_by or self.connection.ops.force_no_ordering() result.append('GROUP BY %s' % ', '.join(grouping)) # rest of the as_sql() method
it works, at least in the following ways I tried (annotations are just made up for sake of the example)
model_scores_latest_date_annotation = Max('model_scores__date') latest_score_annotation = Case(When(model_scores__date=F('latest_date'), then='model_scores__score') base_query_set = base_query_set = (Model.objects. filter(**filters). alias(latest_date=model_scores_latest_date_annotation). values(ID). annotate(latest_score=latest_score_annotation, latest_date=model_scores_latest_date_annotation) )
all the following distinct calls worked:
query_set = base_query_set.order_by('latest_date').distinct('id', 'latest_date') query_set = base_query_set.distinct('id') query_set = base_query_set.distinct('id', 'latest_date')
which makes me think that the as_sql method on SQLCompiler can handle more cases easily and this just fell beneath the cracks.
