This is provided as a new "validate_max" formset_factory option defaulting to
False, since the non-validating behavior of max_num is longstanding, and there
is certainly code relying on it. (In fact, even the Django admin relies on it
for the case where there are more existing inlines than the given max_num). It
may be that at some point we want to deprecate validate_max=False and
eventually remove the option, but this commit takes no steps in that direction.
This also fixes the DoS-prevention absolute_max enforcement so that it causes a
form validation error rather than an IndexError, and ensures that absolute_max
is always 1000 more than max_num, to prevent surprising changes in behavior
with max_num close to absolute_max.
Lastly, this commit fixes the previous inconsistency between a regular formset
and a model formset in the precedence of max_num and initial data. Previously
in a regular formset, if the provided initial data was longer than max_num, it
was truncated; in a model formset, all initial forms would be displayed
regardless of max_num. Now regular formsets are the same as model formsets; all
initial forms are displayed, even if more than max_num. (But if validate_max is
True, submitting these forms will result in a "too many forms" validation
error!) This combination of behaviors was chosen to keep the max_num validation
simple and consistent, and avoid silent data loss due to truncation of initial
data.
Thanks to Preston for discussion of the design choices.
Model.save() will use UPDATE - if not updated - INSERT instead of
SELECT - if found UPDATE else INSERT. This should save a query when
updating, but will cost a little when inserting model with PK set.
Also fixed#17341 -- made sure .save() commits transactions only after
the whole model has been saved. This wasn't the case in model
inheritance situations.
The save_base implementation was refactored into multiple methods.
A typical chain for inherited save is:
save_base()
_save_parents(self)
for each parent:
_save_parents(parent)
_save_table(parent)
_save_table(self)
Replaced them with per-database options, for proper multi-db support.
Also toned down the recommendation to tie transactions to HTTP requests.
Thanks Jeremy for sharing his experience.

Removed redundant exception wrapping.
This is now taken care of by the cursor wrapper.
commit 524bc7345a724bf526bdd2dd1bcf5ede67d6bb5c
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date: Tue Feb 26 14:55:10 2013 +0100
Wrapped database exceptions in the base backend.
This covers the most common PEP-249 APIs:
- Connection APIs: close(), commit(), rollback(), cursor()
- Cursor APIs: callproc(), close(), execute(), executemany(),
fetchone(), fetchmany(), fetchall(), nextset().
Fixed#19920.

Added a wrap_database_exception context manager and decorator.
It re-throws backend-specific exceptions using Django's common wrappers.
Changed the ip_address field for Comment to GenericIPAddressField. Added
instructions to the release notes on how to update the schema of existing
databases.
