You can use ``select_related()`` with any queryset of objects::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
from django.utils import timezone
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Find all the blogs with entries scheduled to be published in the future.
|
||||||
|
blogs = set()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
for e in Entry.objects.filter(pub_date__gt=timezone.now()).select_related('blog'):
|
||||||
|
# Without select_related(), this would make a database query for each
|
||||||
|
# loop iteration in order to fetch the related blog for each entry.
|
||||||
|
blogs.add(e.blog)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The order of ``filter()`` and ``select_related()`` chaining isn't important.
|
||||||
|
These querysets are equivalent::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Entry.objects.filter(pub_date__gt=timezone.now()).selected_related('blog')
|
||||||
|
Entry.objects.selected_related('blog').filter(pub_date__gt=timezone.now())
