 Django currently fetches results from the database in batches of
 {{{GET_ITERATOR_CHUNK_SIZE}}} (currently 100). When {{{.iterator()}}} is
 used, usually for a large query, specifying the batch size would allow
 more control over the number of back-and-forth communications between
 Django and the database.

 [https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/#fetchmany PEP249] define the
 {{{size}}} argument for the {{{.fetchmany()}}} method.

 * MySQL-python provides the [https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en
 /connector-python-api-mysqlcursor-fetchmany.html size] argument for
 {{{.fetchmany()}}}.
 * SQLite provides the
 [https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/sqlite3.html#sqlite3.Cursor.fetchmany
 size] argument for {{{.fetchmany()}}}.
 * cx_Oracle provides [http://cx-
 
oracle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cursor.html?highlight=arraysize#Cursor.arraysize
 arraysize] attribute on the cursor and the [http://cx-
 oracle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cursor.html#Cursor.fetchmany numRows]
 argument for {{{.fetchmany()}}}.
 * Psycopg2 (used for PostgreSQL) provides the
 [http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/cursor.html?highlight=itersize#cursor.itersize
 itersize] attribute (used by server-side cursors, see discussion on
 [https://github.com/django/django/pull/7587 This PR -- Added server side
 cursors support for QuerySet iteration in PostgreSQL].

 Note:
 In [https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/26530#comment:3 #26530], Anssi
 Kääriäinen proposed the name {{{cursor_size}}} for this argument.
