📄 Description

Optimize database queries: Replace N+1 queries with single aggregated queries in get_groups() and search_groups()

  • Convert get_groups() to use LEFT OUTER JOIN with GroupMember and COUNT aggregation instead of making individual get_group_member_count_by_id() calls per group

  • Convert search_groups() to use same optimization with aggregated member counts while maintaining pagination (offset/limit) and all filtering logic

  • Use func.count(GroupMember.id) with group_by(Group.id) to collapse joined rows and retrieve member counts in single query execution

  • Eliminates N database round-trips (where N = group count) and reduces to 1 query

Performance improvement: O(N+1) → O(1) database queries for group retrieval operations

Pull Request Checklist

Note to first-time contributors: Please open a discussion post in Discussions to discuss your idea/fix with the community before creating a pull request, and describe your changes before submitting a pull request.

This is to ensure large feature PRs are discussed with the community first, before starting work on it. If the community does not want this feature or it is not relevant for Open WebUI as a project, it can be identified in the discussion before working on the feature and submitting the PR.

Changelog Entry

Description

Optimized group retrieval to eliminate N+1 queries. Replaced per-group member-count lookups with single aggregated queries using LEFT OUTER JOIN + COUNT and GROUP BY. Preserves existing filters (query, share, member_id) and pagination behavior.

Changed

  • get_groups(): now returns member_count from a single aggregated query (outer join + func.count + group_by) instead of calling get_group_member_count_by_id() for each group.
    search_groups(): same optimization applied; preserves skip/limit and filtering logic.
    Updated mapping to produce GroupResponse including member_count from the aggregated query results.

Deprecated

  • [List any deprecated functionality or features that have been removed]

Removed

  • N+1 pattern of per-group member-count database calls.

Fixed

  • Eliminated N+1 query bug causing one DB query per group when listing/searching groups.
