The Model.from_db() is intended to be used in cases where customization
of model loading is needed. Reasons can be performance, or adding custom
behavior to the model (for example "dirty field tracking" to issue
automatic update_fields when saving models).
A big thank you to Tim Graham for the review!
Regression from f51c1f59 when using select_related then prefetch_related
on the reverse side of an O2O:
Author.objects.select_related('bio').prefetch_related('bio__books')
Thanks Aymeric Augustin for the report and tests. Refs #17001.
Previously, known related objects overwrote related objects loaded
though select_related. This could cancel the effect of select_related
when it was used over more than one level.
Thanks boxm for the bug report and timo for bisecting the regression.
So as the save step is centralized in create(), especially useful
when customizing behavior in subclasses.
Thanks craig.labenz@gmail.com for the report.
The original patch for custom prefetches didn't allow usage of custom
queryset for single valued relations (along ForeignKey or OneToOneKey).
Allowing these enables calling performance oriented queryset methods like
select_related or defer/only.
Thanks @akaariai and @timgraham for the reviews. Refs #17001.
Previously, doing so resulted in invalid data or crash.
Thanks jtiai for the report and Karol Jochelson,
Jakub Nowak, Loic Bistuer, and Baptiste Mispelon for reviews.
This commit touchs various parts of the code base and test framework. Any
found usage of opening a cursor for the sake of initializing a connection
has been replaced with 'ensure_connection()'.
Updated SQLUpdateCompiler.execute_sql to match the behavior described in
the docstring; the 'first non-empty query' will now include all queries,
not just the main and first related update.
Added CURSOR and NO_RESULTS result_type constants to make the usages more
self documenting and allow execute_sql to explicitly close the cursor when
it is no longer needed.
This patch introduces the Prefetch object which allows customizing prefetch
operations.
This enables things like filtering prefetched relations, calling select_related
from a prefetched relation, or prefetching the same relation multiple times
with different querysets.
When a Prefetch instance specifies a to_attr argument, the result is stored
in a list rather than a QuerySet. This has the fortunate consequence of being
significantly faster. The preformance improvement is due to the fact that we
save the costly creation of a QuerySet instance.
Thanks @akaariai for the original patch and @bmispelon and @timgraham
for the reviews.

Clarified interactions between atomic and exceptions.

Fixed TransactionManagementError in tests.
Previous commit introduced an additional check to prevent running
queries in transactions that will be rolled back, which triggered a few
failures in the tests. In practice using transaction.atomic instead of
the low-level savepoint APIs was enough to fix the problems.

Allowed nesting constraint_checks_disabled inside atomic.
Since MySQL handles transactions loosely, this isn't a problem.

Prevented running queries in transactions that will be rolled back.
This avoids a counter-intuitive behavior in an edge case on databases
with non-atomic transaction semantics.
It prevents using savepoint_rollback() inside an atomic block without
calling set_rollback(False) first, which is backwards-incompatible in
tests.

commit 8e3db393853c7ac64a445b66e57f3620a3fde7b0
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date: Sun Sep 22 22:14:17 2013 +0200
Replaced manual savepoints by atomic blocks.
This ensures the rollback flag is handled consistently in internal APIs.
Previously, if a database request spanned a related object manager, the
first manager encountered would cause a request to the router, and this
would bind all subsequent queries to the same database returned by the
router. Unfortunately, the first router query would be performed using
a read request to the router, resulting in bad routing information being
used if the subsequent query was actually a write.
This change defers the call to the router until the final query is acutally
made.
It includes a small *BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITY* on an edge case - see the
release notes for details.
Thanks to Paul Collins (@paulcollinsiii) for the excellent debugging
work and patch.
Additionally this patch solves the orthogonal problem that specialized
`QuerySet` like `ValuesQuerySet` didn't inherit from the current `QuerySet`
type. This wasn't an issue until now because we didn't officially support
custom `QuerySet` but it became necessary with the introduction of this new
feature.
Thanks aaugustin, akaariai, carljm, charettes, mjtamlyn, shaib and timgraham
for the reviews.
In the combination of .values().aggregate() the aggregate_select_mask
didn't include the aggregates added. This resulted in bogus query.
Thanks to Trac alias debanshuk for report.
