Hi Stanislav I think there's two ways you can do this... if you want to go down the Forms route you actually want to be looking at Formsets [1], which allow you to have a 'grid' of forms in a table with one row representing each object. If that seems like a steep learning curve to get your head

You would probably have to wait until the django backend for postgres is modified not to fetch all the records at one go. As for now, I guess you should go ahead with writing custom serializers which specifically queries the db records in chunks. Sent from my iPad 2 On Aug 1, 2011, at 7:06

Post Save

Ok, halfly solved. The problem is that post_save() for parent model doesn't calling for childs models. So you can solve it by providing child class directly. class Advertisement(models.Model): created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) author_email = models.EmailField() class
