Discussion: get_many getters are impractical #7

Description

@OtaK

Hey!

I've been trying to work with the get_many getters lately and they're essentially useless IMO because:

  • They take a single argument and perform a = test on it in the SQL query
  • They will return a single row in cases you're searching something like a UNIQUE index.

Meaning that you will have to resort to manual SQL queries if you're doing something as trivial as looking multiple records by a batched id/unique key.

I suggest changing the query in get_many to use a IN() statement instead of = and accepting a slice of arguments instead of a single one as it would semantically work as well.

But of course, as it'd be a breaking change, I'm triggering a discussion here.

I can take care of the implementation.
