==================== Django is great ==================== tips ========= .. note:: when you got the queryset from calling *ModelClass.objects.filter(condition)* and refer the element using [] and save it at last, which **WON'T hit the database**, and it will beyond your expectation. See the below codes: :: a = Blog.objects.filter(title__contains="django") a[0].last_update_time = datetime.now() a[0].save() # won't work as you expect print a[0].last_update_time # this will print the old one # but you can b = a[0] b.last_update_time = datetime.now() b.save() # will work as expected
