    <p>The <code>read()</code> method on a file object is way to access content from within a file object irrespective of whether that file is in memory or stored on the disk. It is similar to other utility file access methods like <code>readlines</code> or <code>seek</code>. </p> <p>The behavior is similar to what is <a href="http://docs.python.org/2.7/library/stdtypes.html#bltin-file-objects">built into</a> Python which in turn is built over the operating system's <code>fread()</code> method.</p> <blockquote> <p>Read at most size bytes from the file (less if the read hits EOF before obtaining size bytes). If the size argument is negative or omitted, read all data until EOF is reached. The bytes are returned as a string object. An empty string is returned when EOF is encountered immediately. (For certain files, like ttys, it makes sense to continue reading after an EOF is hit.) Note that this method may call the underlying C function fread() more than once in an effort to acquire as close to size bytes as possible. Also note that when in non-blocking mode, less data than was requested may be returned, even if no size parameter was given.</p> </blockquote> <p>On the question of where exactly the <code>InMemoryUploadedFile</code> is stored, it is a <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/file-uploads/">bit more complicated</a>.</p> <blockquote> <p>Before you save uploaded files, the data needs to be stored somewhere.</p> <p>By default, if an uploaded file is smaller than 2.5 megabytes, Django will hold the entire contents of the upload in memory. This means that saving the file involves only a read from memory and a write to disk and thus is very fast.</p> <p>However, if an uploaded file is too large, Django will write the uploaded file to a temporary file stored in your system’s temporary directory. On a Unix-like platform this means you can expect Django to generate a file called something like /tmp/tmpzfp6I6.upload. If an upload is large enough, you can watch this file grow in size as Django streams the data onto disk.</p> <p>These specifics – 2.5 megabytes; /tmp; etc. – are simply “reasonable defaults”. Read on for details on how you can customize or completely replace upload behavior.</p> </blockquote>

    1. CO+1 for a good answer, but doesn't answer my question exactly. Is `InMemoryUploadedFile` necessarily in memory or is it stored on the disk?

    2. COHave updated my answer for that. < 2.5 Mb is actually InMemory and otherwise it is a temp file on disk. The defaults can be changed in settings and have their limitations.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
