Comment (by mampf):

 Hi lukeplant,

 thanks for your answer. Here are some additional thoughts.

 I used this document:
 http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/querysets/#defer-fields
 It doesn't state that that the primary key an never be deferred.

 > only() is about only retrieving certain fields of objects
 I thought I was doing this. But how useful is distinct when I need raw SQL
 to make it useful anyway? I see no usecase for that. The docs say:
 > However, if your query spans multiple tables, it's possible to get
 duplicate results when a QuerySet is evaluated. That's when you'd use
 distinct().
 If I span over multiple tables, I always get ids as seen above. This is
 why I will never have an use case for distinct() then.

 Thanks for your answer. It made some thinks about how the orm works a
 little clearer to me.
