Also, use of ``iterator()`` causes previous ``prefetch_related()`` calls to be

.. warning::
Some Python database drivers like ``psycopg2`` perform caching if using

Django's ORM uses). Using ``iterator()`` does not affect caching at the
database driver level. To disable this caching, look at `server side
cursors`_.
