When a query had a complex where condition (a condition targeting more
than the base table) a subquery was used for deletion. However, the
query had default ordering from the model's meta and Oracle doesn't
work with ordered subqueries.
The regression was caused by fast-path deletion code introduced in
1cd6e04cd4 for fixing #18676.
Thanks to Dylan Klomparens for the report.
There was a bug introduced in #18676 which caused fast-path deletes
implemented as "DELETE WHERE pk IN <subquery>" to fail if the SELECT
clause contained additional stuff (for example extra() and annotate()).
Thanks to Trac alias pressureman for spotting this regression.
This monster of a patch is the result of Alex Gaynor's 2009 Google Summer of Code project.
Congratulations to Alex for a job well done.
Big thanks also go to:
* Justin Bronn for keeping GIS in line with the changes,
* Karen Tracey and Jani Tiainen for their help testing Oracle support
* Brett Hoerner, Jon Loyens, and Craig Kimmerer for their feedback.
* Malcolm Treddinick for his guidance during the GSoC submission process.
* Simon Willison for driving the original design process
* Cal Henderson for complaining about ponies he wanted.
... and everyone else too numerous to mention that helped to bring this feature into fruition.
