Hi y'all, I closed the original ticket because two responses is not enough to reopen it. I'm -1 to this change. IMO your issue is really niche and it's caused by multiple reasons, i.e. huge table, Meta.ordering by non-indexed column, uncaught exception, error reporting layer that calls `repr()` etc. and to be honest even with all of this fetching the first 20 rows should not crash your production database (I worked with tables that had hundreds of millions of records). I'm against this change because it will have a negative impact for most of users (like pointed by Luke[1]). It will also have a big impact on our documentation ~ 200 examples to change.
