Slightly late to the party here, but...
This came up on IRC yesterday and a bunch of people helpfully provided
the necessary clues to confirm how it was behaving for a bunch of
examples. It is more or less broken at the moment.
There is a ticket to fix it here --
http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/2076 .
I'm wondering if we should take the opportunity to fix the API for the
call at the same time, since requiring the developer to know the
underlying database tablename is a little abnormal for Django (and it
taxes my tiny brain, so I would have to look it up each time). There
should be a thread about that on the developer's list shortly if you
want to contribute or observe.
Regards,
Malcolm
