Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Performs an SQL update query for the specified fields - and returns the number of rows affected. This method is applied instantly and the only restriction on the QuerySet that is updated is that it can only update columns in the model's main table. F

2. Defined by django.db.models.ForeignKey. You use it just like any other Field type: by including it as a class attribute of your model.

3. This style of inheritanc is useful when you're subclassing an existing model (perhaps something from another application entirely) and want each model to have its own database table. Here - each model in the hierarchy is a model all by itself.

4. Lookup type that returns results with a case-insensitive start sequence.

8. Use this method to reverse the order in which a queryset's elements are returned. Calling this method a second time restores the ordering back to the normal direction.

9. These are specified as keyword arguments to the QuerySet methods filter() - exclude() and get(). These take the form field__lookuptype=value .

10. Lookup type that yields an "exact" match. If you don't provide a lookup type -- that is - if your keyword argument doesn't contain a double underscore -- the lookup type is assumed to be of this sort.

11. Defines a many-to-many relationship. You use it just like any other Field type: by including it as a class attribute of your model.

12. This method returns tuples of values when iterated over. Each tuple contains the value from the respective field passed into the call to this method -- so the first item is the first field - etc.

15. This method is for controlling which database the QuerySet will be evaluated against if you are using more than one database. The only argument this method takes is the alias of a database - as defined in DATABASES.
Entry.objects.filter(id__in=[1 - 3 - 4])

16. A manager method that returns a new QuerySet containing objects that do not match the given lookup parameters.

17. Specifies the model that will be used to govern the many-to-many relationship. You can then put extra fields on the intermediate model. The intermediate model is associated with the ManyToManyField using this to point to the model that will act as an

40. (1) These cannot be Python reserved words - because that would result in a Python syntax error. (2) These cannot contain more than one underscore in a row - due to the way Django's query lookup syntax works.
