In Django 1.1 onwards, you can use
defer('col1', 'col2')to exclude columns from the query, oronly('col1', 'col2')to only get a specific set of columns. See the documentation.valuesdoes something slightly different – it only gets the columns you specify, but it returns a list of dictionaries rather than a set of model instances.
