For performing efficient inserts based on existing data, it would be great
if Django could offer support for the ANSI SQL **INSERT INTO ... SELECT
FROM ...**, perhaps something along the lines of the following snippet:

{{{
queryset = MyTable.objects.filter(field=value)
MyTable.objects.create_from(queryset)
}}}

Currently this type of insertion is only possible by bypassing the ORM or
by evaluating the queryset and then doing a bulk_create. The former is
undesirable for maintainability and the latter is inefficient as it
executes 2 queries and potentially transfers a lot of data over the
network.

The feature has been requested in a few other places such as
[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70888534/ StackOverflow] and the
[https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/14648/ Django Forum] so I figured that
it would be a good idea to open an actual ticket for it.

If the feature request were to be accepted, I can work on a patch for it
if provided with some high-level guidance.

Thanks for the ticket though all feature requests must be a result of a
forum thread showing consensus for support:
