hello, I have a sku_store many to many relation.
I’m trying to delete the relations in this list:
# This map is what I'm sending to the function
[%{sku_id: 1, store_id: 2}, %{sku_id: 3, store_id: 4}]
(In reality there are like 10_000 registries to delete in bulk) and there’s no primary key, BTW.
This function does the job:
def bulk_delete_skus_in_stores(list) do
keys = [:sku_id, :store_id]
attrs = list_to_tuple(list, keys)
Repo.query(~s"""
delete from sku_store where (#{keys |> Enum.join(",")}) in (#{attrs})
""")
|> case do
{:ok, %Postgrex.Result{num_rows: num_rows}} -> %{rows_affected: num_rows, errors: []}
end
end
The problem with this function is:
- It does the job one by one. I want to use a
delete_allto achieve more performance - I’m not sure if I have the risk of a SQL injection here?
Maybe using Ecto macros it’s better
has anyone faced a similar problem in the past?

I’m writing this from the top of the head, but you should be able to do this:

Thanks a lot, @stefanchrobot
and it’s more or less what I’ve been trying to do with no success.
.
That’s a great approach
In this case, I would have something like this
[{1, 2}, { 3, 4}]to compare withBut it gives me now an error that I’m still trying to debug and have no idea why it’s happening. It makes no sense to me:
Why it’s telling me tuples are not the same size? Makes no sense
hudsonbay
Using this answer Ecto IN clauses with tuples - #16 by alex_weinberger I could do it. So at the end, this is what I did:

I think I’ve hit this before too. I think this means you need to use explicit values (not even variable) to make this work.
