Consider this Django code:
class User(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(null=True, blank=False, verbose_name=_("Name"), help_text='User Name', max_length=256)
class UsersGroup(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(null=False, blank=False, verbose_name=_("Name"), help_text='Users Group Name', max_length=256)
users = models.ManyToManyField(User)
# ...
with transaction.atomic():
group.users.add(user)
What if the user was deleted from the DB before the transaction starts? It would add an nonexistent user to group.users
. This is an error.
What to do in this situation to preserve DB integrity?
If a user does not exist while adding into groups then the query will fail in database raising IntegrityError with message as follows:
IntegrityError: insert or update on table "app1_usersgroup_users" violates foreign key constraint "app1_usersgroup_users_user_id_96d48fc7_fk_polls_user_id"
DETAIL: Key (user_id)=(3) is not present in table "polls_user".
You would just add the get in the transaction.atomic
block:
with transaction.atomic():
user = User.objects.get(name='stackoverflow')
group.users.add(user)
You can use exceptions to handle it as well:
try:
group.users.add(User.objects.get(name='Julian'))
except:
# handle the error - user doesn't exist
