Django docs possiable error

Description

go to: ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/db/queries/#complex-lookups-with-q-objects

and scroll down to:

Poll.objects.get(
    Q(question__startswith='Who'),
    Q(pub_date=date(2005, 5, 2)) | Q(pub_date=date(2005, 5, 6))
)

and it says it yealds the following SQL:

SELECT * from polls WHERE question LIKE 'Who%'
    AND (pub_date = '2005-05-02' OR pub_date = '2005-05-06')

Thats not true though is it? If it's Poll.objects.get(... it's only going to get one object isn't it?

It says 'roughly' translates, and it is correct. get() may or may not add a LIMIT clause (that's an implementation detail) - in fact it currently doesn't do any LIMIT clause, in order to be able to throw an exception when more than one object is matched.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
