This management command fixes #1368 where some chants have non-empty
differentiae_database
fields but emptydiff_db fields
. It iterates through these chants, attempts to find the corresponding Differentia object based on thedifferentiae_database
value, and assigns it to thediff_db
field. If the Differentia object does not exist, it creates a new Differentia with the given ID, saves it, and then assigns it to thediff_db
field of the chant.Previously, we encountered an issue with the
populate_diff_id_fields
management command where only some of the affected chants are updated. Here are the fixes:@transaction.atomic
decorator is applied to the handle method to ensure that the entire process runs within a single database transaction. This means either all changes are committed, or none are, which maintains database consistency in case of errors..iterator(chunk_size=500)
to process chants in chunks directly from the database, which is more memory-efficient and reduces the risk of memory overload.get
method will return the object if found or an exception.I've run this command locally and it works as expected.
