Apologies for not using DPaste. I thought the snippets were small enough. And I thought my question was cleared than it turned out to be!
To clarify (where someobject_set is a related-object queryset): someobject_set.all().query.as_sql() someobject_set.select_related().query.as_sql() Both show identical SQL is being generated - which indicates that select_related() isn't following any relationships. One of the fields is a foreign key to another so I would have expect the second query to result in a join. (incidentally - the problem I am trying to solve is to sort by a field that is in a related table but that question can wait until I can understand the reason for the above issue) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
