Benefit of 'return Foo.objects.all()' in a ListView

Hi there,

I'm starting to learn about Django views and wanted to ground my understanding.

What is the advantage of including the get_queryset(self) function in a ListView? When I've run it with a very basic model ('Foo') there doesn't appear to be any difference with/without it - this could well be that my examples are currently too basic.

Essentially, what is the difference between the two below:

# view.py
from .models import Foo

from django.views.generic import ListView

class IndexView(ListView):

    model = Foo

    def get_queryset(self):

        return Foo.objects.all()

vs

# view.py

from .models import Foo

from django.views.generic import ListView

class IndexView(ListView):

    model = Foo

Thanks!

Rich
