I don't think that's true. It will retrieve data from the data if it is evaluated (e.g. through Your pull request seems to tackle a different problem - since django-silk may be continually profiling and writing new rows into the database, it may conflict with DELETE operation unless the rows to be deleted are separate from newly written rows, hence the deadlock issues discussed in #265 and #294. |
@albertyw I've thought like so, but no, django loads all to db because it needs to cascade delete related models. The fix might also fix the deadlock problem. The below is the raw SQL when I called

If you call all() on a table with many rows, it will retrieve all the data at once, which will likely result in out-of-memory (OOM) errors.

I recommend setting a limit and deleting the rows recursively instead. I will submit a pull request to address this issue.
