I am trying to minimize the database hits. Take this example...
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class Group(models.Model):
# a bunch of fields here
user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="groups")
class Member(models.Model):
# a bunch of fields here
user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="members")
groups= models.ForeignKey(Invitation, related_name="members")
Basically the idea of the above is that given a user, you can fetch a
list of members. Or, given a group, you can fetch a list of members
belonging to that group.
In one of my templates, I would like to paginate based on the groups,
lets say 10 groups per page. But for each group displayed, I want to
also display each member. The groups will be small enough so this
won't be ridiculous. I feel confident than this can be done _without_
having to perform 11 queries per page (one for the groups, and then 1
for getting the members of each group). Am I correct? If so, how?
Mildly off topic, I am trying to figure out what exactly happens when
using MyModel.objects.all(). I understand that it is just an iterable
but, using the example of pagination, when you do Paginator
(MyModel.objects.all(), 10), is there no database hit until you get a
specific page, where it will only fetch the 10 for the page it needs?
