[ This question is also posted to StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64320386/django-postgresql-model-with-only-foreign-keys ]

I have a model which looks like this:

class InputTypeMap(models.Model):
    input_type = models.ForeignKey(InputType, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    training = models.ForeignKey(Training, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    category = models.ForeignKey(Category, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    gender = models.ForeignKey(Gender, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

When I try to create instances of this model with:

InputTypeMap.objects.create(input_type=input_type,
                            training=training,
                            gender=gender,
                            category=category)

I get an exception when using Postgres-11.9:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/hove/sleipner/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/utils.py", line 84, in _execute
    return self.cursor.execute(sql, params)
psycopg2.errors.NotNullViolation: null value in column "id" violates not-null constraint
DETAIL:  Failing row contains (null, Maintenance, Female, MareGielding, No).

From the error message it seems to me that a ID key for the new entry is not generated. This code has worked as I expected for quite some time, but has "suddenly" started to fail locally - probably after a apt get upgrade. When I run the same code with sqlite or Postgres-10.14 thing continue to work as before. It is not clear to me whether this is a bug in my code (most probable ...), Django or Postgres. I am using Django version 3.1.2

Any hints appreciated.

No one has answered yet, so here is some useless info…

I’ve been using various combinations of Postgres and Django (currently 12.4 and 3.1.2, respectively) and would think I would have stumbled on this at some point when using postgresql-11. But I probably haven’t tried 11.x with 3.1.2 specifically…

Thank you for answering. Just to be sure: you agree that the behavior I describe looks like a bug somewhere?

In __your__ code, most certainly.  :-)

You didn't say what 'training', 'input_type' and 'gender' are. It is in one or more of those where the problem exists.

Do these referenced save module instances? If they are not yet saved then it will trigger this error for fields where

Apologies, I must have bumped send accidentally.

To complete the sentence, unless fields have null=True then referencing unsaved records here will fail because there is no id in the dependent records to provide a reference. By default there is a constraint that the reference is not null.

But rather than add null=True to fields, you probably need to ensure those model instances are saved and populated with a valid record before saving your InputTypeMap record.

It would have little to do with the database, any version. That would be the last place I'd go looking for such an issue.

Hey David, how are you? Please I need help.
