* type: Bug => New feature * version: 1.9 => master * component: Uncategorized => Database layer (models, ORM) * stage: Unreviewed => Accepted Comment: Tentatively accepting but as you've noticed it would require a large refactor of the way prefetching is actually done. I could see `Category.objects.prefetch_related(Prefetch('articles', Article.object.order_by('-published_data')[0:3], to_attr='latest_articles'))` being useful but the underlying prefetch query would need to rely on subqueries, a feature the ORM is not good at for now. Maybe the addition of the [https://github.com/django/django/pull/6478 Subquery] expression could help here. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/26780#comment:5> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
