By the way (since I still haven't worked out the complex SQL to make it
three queries yet), this last statement isn't correct. Denormalising
doesn't just mean flattening. You can store a computed dependent field
in model1 for the related information. So you could, for example, store
the relevant date and pk value of the related model2 row and update that
whenever a new model2 is inserted.
