set Django RawQuerySet to do not defer attributes

According to Django documentation if a field is trying to be reached in raw query set, it would fetch it in real time.

How can I prevent it from fetching fields not being retrieved from the database?

e.g. if I write select name from authors

and later a user will write author.gender it would return None and not attempt to retrieve it from the database?

You could try fetching null for any fields that you do not want to be retrieved, for example:

Person.objects.raw('SELECT id, name, null AS gender from authors')
