Description
Currently, when using bulk_create
with a conflict handling flag turned on (e.g. ignore_conflicts
or update_conflicts
), the primary keys are not set in the returned queryset, as documented in bulk_create
.
While I understand using ignore_conflicts
can lead to PostgreSQL not returning the IDs when a row is ignored (see this SO thread), I don't understand why we don't return the IDs in the case of update_conflicts
.
For instance:
MyModel.objects.bulk_create([MyModel(...)], update_conflicts=True, update_fields=[...], unique_fields=[...])
generates a query without a RETURNING my_model.id
part:
INSERT INTO "my_model" (...) VALUES (...) ON CONFLICT(...) DO UPDATE ...
If I append the RETURNING my_model.id
clause, the query is indeed valid and the ID is returned (checked with PostgreSQL).
I investigated a bit and this in Django source is where the returning_fields
gets removed.
I believe we could discriminate the cases differently so as to keep those returning_fields
in the case of update_conflicts
.
This would be highly helpful when using bulk_create
as a bulk upsert feature.

Replying to Thomas C:
Sure I will.
Thanks. About tests, it should be enough to add some assertions to existing tests: _test_update_conflicts_two_fields()
, test_update_conflicts_unique_fields_pk()
, _test_update_conflicts_unique_two_fields()
, _test_update_conflicts()
, and test_update_conflicts_unique_fields_update_fields_db_column()
when connection.features.can_return_rows_from_bulk_insert
is True.

Thanks for the ticket. I've checked and it works on PostgreSQL, MariaDB 10.5+, and SQLite 3.35+:
django/db/models/query.py
on_conflict is None:Would you like to prepare a patch via GitHub PR? (docs changes and tests are required)
