 https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/models/querysets/#select-related
 says:

 > … then a call to Book.objects.select_related('author_
 _hometown').get(id=4) will cache the related Person and the related City:
 {{{
 b = Book.objects.select_related('author_ _hometown').get(id=4)
 p = b.author         # Doesn't hit the database.
 c = p.hometown       # Doesn't hit the database.

 b = Book.objects.get(id=4) # No select_related() in this example.
 p = b.author         # Hits the database.
 c = p.hometown       # Hits the database.
 }}}

 This leaves the impression, that the first snipped does not hit the
 database and the second snippet hits twice the database.

 I propose:
 * wring after {{{b = Book.objects.select_related('author_
 _hometown').get(id=4)}}} the comment # Hits the database with INNER JOIN.
 * changing {{{b = Book.objects.get(id=4) # No select_related() in this
 example.}}} to {{{b = Book.objects.get(id=4) # No select_related() in this
 example, hits the database.}}}, and
 * changing {{{p = b.author         # Hits the database.}}} to {{{p =
 b.author         # Doesn't hit the database.}}}
