django override delete cascade for one time

Is there an option for to make sure that a model instance does not have any related objects?
i.e, if the Person object has any related objects, I want this line



person.delete()


to raise an error.



And I don't want to modify on_delete=models.CASCADE for every foreign key. I need this protection only here, for any other case in my application (like django admin site) I do prefer the cascading behavior.

    Do you try to overrife delete method from your model? check for your fk and others inside this method and call super(...).delete() to delete your model

Does this correspond to what you want?



has_related = False
for field in person.__class__._meta.get_fields():
if field.is_relation:
field_name = field.get_accessor_name()
model_field = getattr(person, field_name)
if not isinstance(model_field, models.Model) and model_field.all():
has_related = True
break

if not has_related:
person.delete()

  • Thanks, why the use of get_cache_name() for field objects? I'm getting an AttributeError

  • I updated my post with get_accessor_name() instead of get_cache_name(). We use this method to get the XXX_set (or else if modified) name of the related field. Where do you get your AttributeError ?
