Description (last modified by Charles Lirsac)

Given the following model:

class Price(models.Model):
    price = models.IntegerField(null=False)
    price_previous = models.IntegerField(null=False)
    on_sale = models.BooleanField(null=False)

The following query used to work in 2.2. but emits a ProgrammingError on 3.0+ against a Postgres database:

Price.objects.filter(
    models.Q(
        on_sale=models.ExpressionWrapper(
            models.Q(price__lt=models.F('price_previous')),
            output_field=models.BooleanField(),
        )
    )
)

Traceback:

django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: syntax error at or near "<"
LINE 1: ..."prices_price"."on_sale" = "prices_price"."price" < "prices_...

The error comes from the way the query ended up compiled, in 3.2 we get:

SELECT "prices_price"."id", "prices_price"."price", "prices_price"."price_previous", "prices_price"."on_sale" 
FROM "prices_price" 
WHERE "prices_price"."on_sale" = "prices_price"."price" < "prices_price"."price_previous"

The right hand side of the clause is not wrapped in parentheses. While on 2.2 we get:

SELECT "prices_price"."id", "prices_price"."price", "prices_price"."price_previous", "prices_price"."on_sale" 
FROM "prices_price" 
WHERE "prices_price"."on_sale" = ("prices_price"."price" < ("prices_price"."price_previous"))

The right hand side is correctly wrapped (even if some parts are over wrapped).

Sorry if the title is not super accurate, I wasn't sure how to exactly to describe the exact kind of models.Q invocation at play here.

Versions:

  • Python 3.7
  • Tested agains postgres 9.6, 11 and 13
  • Tested against 3.0.14, 3.1.8 and 3.2. It works on 2.2.20

For reference. the following query (valid in 3.0+) is equivalent and generates the same broken SQL:

Price.objects.filter(
    models.Q(
        on_sale=models.Q(price__lt=models.F('price_previous'))
    )
)

I've logged more details and a complete reproduction at https://github.com/lirsacc/django-check-constraint-pg-regression (in the context of a CheckConstraint and migrations which is where we first saw this).

Regression in 3a505c70e7b228bf1212c067a8f38271ca86ce09.

Nonlitteral right-hand-sides of lookups need to be wrapped in
parentheses to avoid operator precedence ambiguities.

Thanks Charles Lirsac for the detailed report.
