Hi Russ -- Awesome. I will organize my ideas and start a thread over on django- developers.

This is very much possible in Rails, and I'm pretty familiar w/ the specifics of the implementation there. I made extensive use (and hit some limitations) of this feature while working on a particularly convoluted legacy project. It's documented here (scroll down to the heading, "eager loading of assocations"): http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Associations/ClassMethods.html > There is a very old ticket - #2238 - which was marked 'wontfix' at the > time for the same reasons I mentioned.

I guess there really isn't that much prior art on the subject. > Like I said - if you're keen to try to implement this, the next step > is a thread on django-developers, in which you describe your proposal. Will do. Thanks! Miriam --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
