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. Returns an integer representing the number of objects in the database matching the QuerySet. This never raises exceptions.

2. These are "anything that's not a field" - such as ordering options (ordering) - database table name (db_table) - or human-readable singular and plural names (verbose_name and verbose_name_plural)

3. 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.

4. 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

6. This class type is useful when you just want to use the parent class to hold information that you don't want to have to type out for each child model. This class isn't going to ever be used in isolation. When it is used as a base class for other mode

7. If you pickle a QuerySet - this will force all the results to be loaded into memory prior to pickling. When you unpickle a QuerySet - it contains the results at the moment it was pickled - rather than the results that are currently in the database.

23. In some complex data-modeling situations - your models might contain a lot of fields - some of which could contain a lot of data (for example - text fields) - or require expensive processing to convert them to Python objects. If you are using the res
