How can I perform bulk delete operations in Django?

How can I perform bulk delete operations in Django?

You can use the QuerySet.delete() method to delete multiple records at once. For example, MyModel.objects.filter(condition).delete().

Can you give me an example of how to filter the records before deleting?

Sure! If you want to delete all records where the is_active field is False, you can do: MyModel.objects.filter(is_active=False).delete().

What if I want to delete records based on a list of IDs?

You can use the __in lookup. For example: MyModel.objects.filter(id__in=[1, 2, 3]).delete() will delete records with IDs 1, 2, and 3.

Are there any performance considerations I should be aware of?

Yes, bulk deletes are generally more efficient than deleting records one by one, but be cautious with large datasets as it can lock the table.
