I'm setting up a testing environment for work, using fixtures to save
and load test data and I got a little stumped by something I ran into.

I had exported one of the database tables we use to a json file that I
was going to import into a fresh new database to test with. When I
imported it everything seemed fine, except when looking at the actual
page. So this is what I found:

[[!format sql """
SELECT * FROM app_table;
    => 3 rows of data
"""]]

[[!format py """
from app.models import Table

Table.objects.count()
    => 3

Table.objects.all()
    => []
"""]]

This is weird. So I looked at the `django.db.connection.queries`
property and I realized that it was doing a join since the model
subclasses another:

[[!format py """
from django.db import models

from app.models import SuperTable

class Table(SuperTable):...
"""]]

Which, of course, means that in order to get the complete `Table`
instance, the related `SuperTable` instance is also required, but in
order to do a `COUNT` of `app_table` it isn't necessary. And that's
where the inconsistency came from, now that I've also copied the
contents of `SuperTable` everything is fine again.
