# queries.py — Correct approach for ForeignKey (single object)
developers = Developer.objects.select_related("company").all()
# Generates ONE SQL query with JOIN
# SELECT developer.*, company.* FROM developer INNER JOIN company ...

# Correct approach for ManyToMany (multiple objects)
developers = Developer.objects.prefetch_related("skills").all()
# Generates TWO SQL queries:
# 1. SELECT * FROM developer
# 2. SELECT * FROM skill INNER JOIN developer_skills WHERE developer_id IN (...)

# views.py — Django 6.1 FETCH_PEERS mode
from django.db import models

# Traditional approach: requires explicit prefetch_related

# Django 6.1 approach: automatic peer fetching
books = Book.objects.fetch_mode(models.FETCH_PEERS)
for book in books:
    print(book.author.name)  # Only 2 queries total: books + all authors
