Description (last modified by )
Using PostgreSQL, after upgrading from psycopg2 to psycopg3 (psycopg[binary]==3.1.14
), iterating a distinct queryset of a model with an ordering that uses Value
expressions causes psycopg.errors.InvalidColumnReference
error saying that the ORDER BY
expression must appear in the select list.
This is a minimal reproducible example:
### MODELS from django.db import models class TestModel(models.Model): test_field = models.CharField() class Meta: ordering = [NullIf("test_field", Value(""))] ### TEST from name.models import TestModel from django.test import TestCase class TestTestModel(TestCase): def test_iterating(self): for el in TestModel.objects.all().distinct().iterator(): pass
which gives this output when running:
$ ./manage.py test -k test_iterating Found 1 test(s). Creating test database for alias 'default'... System check identified no issues (0 silenced).

Removing the .distinct()
call prevents the error.
This is the relevant excerpt from the postgres log:

When using psycopg2, this is the resulting postgres log (without errors):
