Django Model Managers and Custom QuerySets

class PublishedManager(models.Manager):
    def get_queryset(self):
        return super().get_queryset().filter(status='published')

class Article(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    status = models.CharField(max_length=20, default='draft')
    
    objects = models.Manager()
    published = PublishedManager()

# Hari retrieves articles:
articles_all = Article.objects.all()
articles_published = Article.published.all()

# Later, Hari updates all articles to 'published':
Article.objects.all().update(status='published')

# Now Hari checks the published manager again:
articles_published_after = Article.published.all()

  1. articles_published_after will return the same articles as before because managers are cached in memory.

  2. articles_published_after will return all articles because the update() changed all statuses to 'published', and the PublishedManager will now include all of them.

  3. articles_published_after will be empty because the custom manager is no longer valid after the bulk update.

  4. articles_published_after will raise an error because you cannot use custom managers after a bulk update.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer

articles_published_after will return all articles because the update() changed all statuses to 'published', and the PublishedManager will now include all of them.

Explanation

The custom PublishedManager filters the queryset to only include articles with status='published'. After the update, all articles have status='published', so both querysets will return the same articles.
