Potential data corruption issue with Oracle and Mysql due to SQLCompiler.resolve_columns row, fields misalignment when using defer and select_related

[Michael Manfre]

SQLCompiler.resolve_columns fields, values are misaligned with defer and select_related. Same data corruption issue as reported/fixed by issue #21126.

Given:

class Parent(models.Model):
	parentid = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
	parent_bool = models.BooleanField(default=True)
	created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

class Child(models.Model):
	childid = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
	parent = models.ForeignKey(Parent)

The following query

p = Parent.objects.create(parent_bool=True)
c = Child.objects.create(parent=p)

qs = Child.objects.all().select_related('parent').defer('parent__parent_bool')

will result in this field misalignment

        field=<django.db.models.fields.AutoField: childid>      value=1
        field=<django.db.models.fields.related.ForeignKey: parent>      value=1
        field=<django.db.models.fields.AutoField: parentid>     value=1
        field=<django.db.models.fields.BooleanField: parent_bool>       value=datetime.datetime(2013, 9, 30, 19, 59, 41, 490000, tzinfo=<UTC>)
        field=<django.db.models.fields.DateTimeField: created>  value=None

parent_bool should have been removed from fields, but it was not because results_iter doesn't properly compare the only_load fields to the correct db_table¹.

Pull request ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/1698 should solve this ticket.

The basic problem was that the only_load dictionary wasn't used correctly.

Unfortunately the only_load dictionary also contains wrong data in some complex situations, but that is not this ticket's problem. I will create another ticket for that issue.

Edit: Need to double check something.
