Is there a difference between filter and exclude in django? If I have
self.get_query_set().filter(modelField=x)
and I want to add another criteria, is there a meaningful difference between to following two lines of code?
self.get_query_set().filter(user__isnull=False, modelField=x)
self.get_query_set().filter(modelField=x).exclude(user__isnull=True)
is one considered better practice or are they the same in both function and performance?
Both are lazily evaluated, so I would expect them to perform equivalently. The SQL is likely different, but with no real distinction.
