Comment (by Akash Kumar Sen):
I have checked your GitHub comment. Any suggestions you have in mind?
Initially I went for updating the compiler itself, but that seems to be a
much more tedious task. I have one more hacky Idea like this which is as
follows:
- Introduce a new database function named {{{CastSuperType}}} that will
always cast the super type for every possible arguments.
- Like varchar for varchar(20) and similar equivalents for all the other
fields that supports casting.
- I also thought of having a different {{{SQLUpdateCompiler}}} compiler
for PostgreSQL, but as the UpdateQuery(https://github.com/Akash-Kumar-
Sen/django/blob/bulk_update/django/db/models/sql/subqueries.py#L48) code
is shared I am finding a hard time to do that.
