Description

CounterField intializers can now return a F() expression in the

initializer function, or provide the expression instead of a function,

instead of returning a numeric value. These will be passed to the

database query, allowing for atomic computation of initial counter

state.
Since we didn't have unit tests for CounterField before, this comes with

a set of tests for the new functionality and much of the original

functionality.

Testing Done

Unit tests pass.

Change Summary:

Expressions are now allowed on new instances. In this case, they'll just result in 0 instead of an error, which I think makes sense, since no relations will be populated at this point.

Bah.. There are issues with this. Django doesn't allow aggregates when updating.

I'll be toying with some other changes and then update this with some new code.

Change Summary:


Unit tests now actually test real-world database usage.
Aggregates are no longer supported. Turns out that they don't really work in Django for update() calls. The real unit tests caught this.
F() expressions can now be set as the initializer, instead of having to be returned by the initializer.

Summary:

Add support for using F() and aggregates in CounterField initialization.
