#2080 closed defect (duplicate)

OR lookup across many-to-one relationships gives unexpected results

Description

If

  • model B has a foreign key on model A,
  • there is an a1 = A(field1=value1) object but no related B objects

and you do

A.objects.filter(Q(field1=value1) | Q(b__field2=value2))

the result will fail to include a1.

This is quite unexpected in my opinion, and I think the reason is that the resulting SQL query uses an inner join instead of an outer join.

This might be the same issue as in ticket #1535, although that seems to be already fixed but it doesn't fix this.

Also #1801 resembles this a bit.
