What it the difference between running two commands:

foo = FooModel()

and

bar = BarModel.objects.create()

Does the second one immediately create a BarModel in the database, while for FooModel, the save() method has to be called explicitly to add it to the database?

To create and save an object in a single step, use the create() method.
