Understanding F() Objects in Django ORM

from django.db.models import F

# Update inventory without race conditions
Product.objects.filter(name='Laptop').update(stock=F('stock') - 5)

  1. F() objects are used to fetch data from the database and modify it in Python

  2. F() objects perform operations at the database level, avoiding race conditions when updating fields based on their current values

  3. F() objects are only used for filtering queries, not for updates

  4. F() objects require manual database transaction management

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer

F() objects perform operations at the database level, avoiding race conditions when updating fields based on their current values

Explanation

F() objects allow database-level operations on field values, preventing race conditions by performing the operation atomically in the database rather than in Python. This is safer than fetching, modifying, and saving.
