fix: fix potential slow query on huge requestevent table

[3cp]

closes #239

A side layman question:
I am quite new to Django plugin development. In order to update the migration files, first I installed the project folder as a depenendy in my venv pip3 install ., then in the easyaudit/tests/ folder, I run python3 manage.py makemigrations easyaudit. That created new migration file in the venv installed site-packages folder.

Then I copied out the new migration file back to the project folder like this:

cp ../../venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/easyaudit/migrations/0017_alter_requestevent_datetime.py ../migrations/

Is this the expected way to manage django plugin development? Is there a way to directly work on the files instead of jumping through the installed package in venv/lib/pythonxxx/site-packages/?

Hi,

I usually install the project in editable mode python -m pip install -e . , which would at least get around the issue of where certain things live at all :) but to your question about the migrations creation:

I think I create migrations from the root but I specify the project settings folder e xplicitly (perhaps against the test projects settings). It has been awhile since I've created a migration PR but at least right now in my head that's what I would do. So, correct, no need to copy anything if running it via the way I have pseudo-written out.
