摘要：利用Django框架中select_related和prefetch_related函数对数据库查询优化

[b]实例的背景说明[/b] 假定一个个人信息系统，需要记录系统中各个人的故乡、居住地、以及到过的城市。数据库设计如下： [img]http://files.jb51.net/file_images/article/201504/201541150650059.jpg?20153115713[/img] Models.py 内容如下：

from django.db import models
 
class Province(models.Model):
 name = models.CharField(max_length=10)
 def __unicode__(self):
  return self.name
 
class City(models.Model):
 name = models.CharField(max_length=5)
 province = models.ForeignKey(Province)
 def __unicode__(self):
  return self.name
 
class Person(models.Model):
 firstname = models.CharField(max_length=10)
 lastname = models.CharField(max_length=10)
 visitation = models.ManyToManyField(City, related_name = "visitor")
 hometown = models.ForeignKey(City, related_name = "birth")
 living  = models.ForeignKey(City, related_name = "citizen")
 def __unicode__(self):
  return self.firstname + self.lastname

注1：创建的app名为“QSOptimize” 注2：为了简化起见，`qsoptimize_province` 表中只有2条数据：湖北省和广东省，`qsoptimize_city`表中只有三条数据：武汉市、十堰市和广州市如果我们想要获得所有家乡是湖北的人，最无脑的做法是先获得湖北省，再获得湖北的所有城市，最后获得故乡是这个城市的人。就像这样：

>>> hb = Province.objects.get(name__iexact=u"湖北省")
>>> people = []
>>> for city in hb.city_set.all():
... people.extend(city.birth.all())
...

显然这不是一个明智的选择，因为这样做会导致1+（湖北省城市数）次SQL查询。反正是个反例，导致的查询和获得掉结果就不列出来了。 prefetch_related() 或许是一个好的解决方法，让我们来看看。

>>> hb = Province.objects.prefetch_related("city_set__birth").objects.get(name__iexact=u"湖北省")
>>> people = []
>>> for city in hb.city_set.all():
... people.extend(city.birth.all())
...

因为是一个深度为2的prefetch，所以会导致3次SQL查询：

SELECT `QSOptimize_province`.`id`, `QSOptimize_province`.`name`
FROM `QSOptimize_province`
WHERE `QSOptimize_province`.`name` LIKE '湖北省' ;
 
SELECT `QSOptimize_city`.`id`, `QSOptimize_city`.`name`, `QSOptimize_city`.`province_id`
FROM `QSOptimize_city`
WHERE `QSOptimize_city`.`province_id` IN (1);
 
SELECT `QSOptimize_person`.`id`, `QSOptimize_person`.`firstname`, `QSOptimize_person`.`lastname`,
`QSOptimize_person`.`hometown_id`, `QSOptimize_person`.`living_id`
FROM `QSOptimize_person`
WHERE `QSOptimize_person`.`hometown_id` IN (1, 3);

嗯…看上去不错，但是3次查询么？倒过来查询可能会更简单？

>>> people = list(Person.objects.select_related("hometown__province").filter(hometown__province__name__iexact=u"湖北省"))
 
SELECT `QSOptimize_person`.`id`, `QSOptimize_person`.`firstname`, `QSOptimize_person`.`lastname`,
`QSOptimize_person`.`hometown_id`, `QSOptimize_person`.`living_id`, `QSOptimize_city`.`id`,
`QSOptimize_city`.`name`, `QSOptimize_city`.`province_id`, `QSOptimize_province`.`id`, `QSOptimize_province`.`name`
FROM `QSOptimize_person`
INNER JOIN `QSOptimize_city` ON (`QSOptimize_person`.`hometown_id` = `QSOptimize_city`.`id`)
INNER JOIN `QSOptimize_province` ON (`QSOptimize_city`.`province_id` = `QSOptimize_province`.`id`)
WHERE `QSOptimize_province`.`name` LIKE '湖北省';
 
+----+-----------+----------+-------------+-----------+----+--------+-------------+----+--------+
| id | firstname | lastname | hometown_id | living_id | id | name | province_id | id | name |
+----+-----------+----------+-------------+-----------+----+--------+-------------+----+--------+
| 1 | 张  | 三  |   3 |   1 | 3 | 十堰市 |   1 | 1 | 湖北省 |
| 2 | 李  | 四  |   1 |   3 | 1 | 武汉市 |   1 | 1 | 湖北省 |
| 3 | 王  | 麻子  |   3 |   2 | 3 | 十堰市 |   1 | 1 | 湖北省 |
+----+-----------+----------+-------------+-----------+----+--------+-------------+----+--------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

完全没问题。不仅SQL查询的数量减少了，python程序上也精简了。 select_related()的效率要高于prefetch_related()。因此，最好在能用select_related()的地方尽量使用它，也就是说，对于ForeignKey字段，避免使用prefetch_related()。 [b]联用 [/b]对于同一个QuerySet，你可以同时使用这两个函数。在我们一直使用的例子上加一个model：Order （订单）

class Order(models.Model):
 customer = models.ForeignKey(Person)
 orderinfo = models.CharField(max_length=50)
 time  = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add = True)
 def __unicode__(self):
  return self.orderinfo

如果我们拿到了一个订单的id 我们要知道这个订单的客户去过的省份。因为有ManyToManyField显然必须要用prefetch_related()。如果只用prefetch_related()会怎样呢？

>>> plist = Order.objects.prefetch_related('customer__visitation__province').get(id=1)
>>> for city in plist.customer.visitation.all():
... print city.province.name
...

显然，关系到了4个表：Order、Person、City、Province，根据prefetch_related()的特性就得有4次SQL查询

SELECT `QSOptimize_order`.`id`, `QSOptimize_order`.`customer_id`, `QSOptimize_order`.`orderinfo`, `QSOptimize_order`.`time`
FROM `QSOptimize_order`
WHERE `QSOptimize_order`.`id` = 1 ;
 
SELECT `QSOptimize_person`.`id`, `QSOptimize_person`.`firstname`, `QSOptimize_person`.`lastname`, `QSOptimize_person`.`hometown_id`, `QSOptimize_person`.`living_id`
FROM `QSOptimize_person`
WHERE `QSOptimize_person`.`id` IN (1);
 
SELECT (`QSOptimize_person_visitation`.`person_id`) AS `_prefetch_related_val`, `QSOptimize_city`.`id`,
`QSOptimize_city`.`name`, `QSOptimize_city`.`province_id`
FROM `QSOptimize_city`
INNER JOIN `QSOptimize_person_visitation` ON (`QSOptimize_city`.`id` = `QSOptimize_person_visitation`.`city_id`)
WHERE `QSOptimize_person_visitation`.`person_id` IN (1);
 
SELECT `QSOptimize_province`.`id`, `QSOptimize_province`.`name`
FROM `QSOptimize_province`
WHERE `QSOptimize_province`.`id` IN (1, 2);

+----+-------------+---------------+---------------------+
| id | customer_id | orderinfo  | time    |
+----+-------------+---------------+---------------------+
| 1 |   1 | Info of Order | 2014-08-10 17:05:48 |
+----+-------------+---------------+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
 
+----+-----------+----------+-------------+-----------+
| id | firstname | lastname | hometown_id | living_id |
+----+-----------+----------+-------------+-----------+
| 1 | 张  | 三  |   3 |   1 |
+----+-----------+----------+-------------+-----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
 
+-----------------------+----+--------+-------------+
| _prefetch_related_val | id | name | province_id |
+-----------------------+----+--------+-------------+
|      1 | 1 | 武汉市 |   1 |
|      1 | 2 | 广州市 |   2 |
|      1 | 3 | 十堰市 |   1 |
+-----------------------+----+--------+-------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
 
+----+--------+
| id | name |
+----+--------+
| 1 | 湖北省 |
| 2 | 广东省 |
+----+--------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

更好的办法是先调用一次select_related()再调用prefetch_related()，最后再select_related()后面的表

>>> plist = Order.objects.select_related('customer').prefetch_related('customer__visitation__province').get(id=1)
>>> for city in plist.customer.visitation.all():
... print city.province.name
...

这样只会有3次SQL查询，Django会先做select_related，之后prefetch_related的时候会利用之前缓存的数据，从而避免了1次额外的SQL查询：

SELECT `QSOptimize_order`.`id`, `QSOptimize_order`.`customer_id`, `QSOptimize_order`.`orderinfo`, 
`QSOptimize_order`.`time`, `QSOptimize_person`.`id`, `QSOptimize_person`.`firstname`, 
`QSOptimize_person`.`lastname`, `QSOptimize_person`.`hometown_id`, `QSOptimize_person`.`living_id` 
FROM `QSOptimize_order` 
INNER JOIN `QSOptimize_person` ON (`QSOptimize_order`.`customer_id` = `QSOptimize_person`.`id`) 
WHERE `QSOptimize_order`.`id` = 1 ;
 
SELECT (`QSOptimize_person_visitation`.`person_id`) AS `_prefetch_related_val`, `QSOptimize_city`.`id`, 
`QSOptimize_city`.`name`, `QSOptimize_city`.`province_id` 
FROM `QSOptimize_city` 
INNER JOIN `QSOptimize_person_visitation` ON (`QSOptimize_city`.`id` = `QSOptimize_person_visitation`.`city_id`) 
WHERE `QSOptimize_person_visitation`.`person_id` IN (1);
 
SELECT `QSOptimize_province`.`id`, `QSOptimize_province`.`name` 
FROM `QSOptimize_province` 
WHERE `QSOptimize_province`.`id` IN (1, 2);
 
+----+-------------+---------------+---------------------+----+-----------+----------+-------------+-----------+
| id | customer_id | orderinfo  | time    | id | firstname | lastname | hometown_id | living_id |
+----+-------------+---------------+---------------------+----+-----------+----------+-------------+-----------+
| 1 |   1 | Info of Order | 2014-08-10 17:05:48 | 1 | 张  | 三  |   3 |   1 |
+----+-------------+---------------+---------------------+----+-----------+----------+-------------+-----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
 
+-----------------------+----+--------+-------------+
| _prefetch_related_val | id | name | province_id |
+-----------------------+----+--------+-------------+
|      1 | 1 | 武汉市 |   1 |
|      1 | 2 | 广州市 |   2 |
|      1 | 3 | 十堰市 |   1 |
+-----------------------+----+--------+-------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
 
+----+--------+
| id | name |
+----+--------+
| 1 | 湖北省 |
| 2 | 广东省 |
+----+--------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

值得注意的是，可以在调用prefetch_related之前调用select_related，并且Django会按照你想的去做：先select_related，然后利用缓存到的数据prefetch_related。然而一旦prefetch_related已经调用，select_related将不起作用。 [b]小结[/b] [list=1] [*] 因为select_related()总是在单次SQL查询中解决问题，而prefetch_related()会对每个相关表进行SQL查询，因此select_related()的效率通常比后者高。[/*] [*] 鉴于第一条，尽可能的用select_related()解决问题。只有在select_related()不能解决问题的时候再去想prefetch_related()。[/*] [*] 你可以在一个QuerySet中同时使用select_related()和prefetch_related()，从而减少SQL查询的次数。[/*] [*] 只有prefetch_related()之前的select_related()是有效的，之后的将会被无视掉。[/*] [/list]
