Django Bulk Load

Load large batches of Django models into the DB using the Postgres COPY command. This library is a more performant alternative to bulk_create and bulk_update in Django.

Note: Currently, this library only supports Postgres. Other databases may be added in the future.

Install

pip install django-bulk-load

API

Just import and use the functions below. No need to change settings.py

bulk_insert_models()

INSERT a batch of models. It makes use of the Postgres COPY command to improve speed. If a row already exist, the entire insert will fail. See bulk_load.py for descriptions of all parameters.

from django_bulk_load import bulk_insert_models

bulk_insert_models(
    models: Sequence[Model],
    ignore_conflicts: bool = False,
    return_models: bool = False,
)

bulk_upsert_models()

UPSERT a batch of models. It replicates UPSERTing. By default, it matches existing models using the model pk, but you can specify matching on other fields with pk_field_names. See bulk_load.py for descriptions of all parameters.

from django_bulk_load import bulk_upsert_models

bulk_upsert_models(
    models: Sequence[Model],
    pk_field_names: Sequence[str] = None,
    insert_only_field_names: Sequence[str] = None,
    model_changed_field_names: Sequence[str] = None,
    update_if_null_field_names: Sequence[str] = None,
    update_where: Callable[[Sequence[Field], str, str], Composable] = None,
    return_models: bool = False,
)

bulk_update_models()

UPDATE a batch of models. By default, it matches existing models using the model pk, but you can specify matching on other fields with pk_field_names. If the model is not found in the database, it is ignored. See bulk_load.py for descriptions of all parameters.

from django_bulk_load import bulk_update_models

bulk_update_models(
    models: Sequence[Model],
    update_field_names: Sequence[str] = None,
    pk_field_names: Sequence[str] = None,
    model_changed_field_names: Sequence[str] = None,
    update_if_null_field_names: Sequence[str] = None,
    update_where: Callable[[Sequence[Field], str, str], Composable] = None,
    return_models: bool = False,
)

bulk_insert_changed_models()

INSERTs a new record in the database when a model field has changed in any of compare_field_names, with respect to its latest state, where "latest" is defined by ordering the records for a given primary key by sorting in descending order on the column passed in order_field_name. Does not INSERT a new record if the latest record has not changed. See bulk_load.py for descriptions of all parameters.

from django_bulk_load import bulk_insert_changed_models

bulk_insert_changed_models(
    models: Sequence[Model],
    pk_field_names: Sequence[str],
    compare_field_names: Sequence[str],
    order_field_name=None,
    return_models=None,
)

bulk_select_model_dicts()

Select/Get model dictionaries by filter_field_names. It returns dictionaries, not Django models for performance reasons. This is useful when querying a very large set of models or multiple field IN clauses.

from django_bulk_load import bulk_select_model_dicts

bulk_select_model_dicts(
    model_class: Type[Model],
    filter_field_names: Iterable[str],
    select_field_names: Iterable[str],
    filter_data: Iterable[Sequence],
    select_for_update=False,
    skip_filter_transform=False,
)
