How to Write SQL Queries in Django ORM: A Comprehensive Guide

When working with database queries, especially complex ones, developers often turn to Structured Query Language (SQL) to retrieve data. However, if you're using Django, you'll want to leverage its Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) capabilities instead of writing raw SQL queries. But what if you have an existing SQL query you want to convert to Django ORM? This guide will guide you through the process using a practical example.

The Problem

Let’s take a look at a SQL query that retrieves datetime and aggregates parameters:

This query is performing a selection from the dbp_istasyondata table and is grouping results based on datetime. The challenge now is to transform this query effectively into Django's ORM syntax.

The Solution

To convert SQL queries into Django ORM, you can often use the raw method provided by Django's models when a complex aggregation is needed, or sometimes it may require a series of method calls like annotate or aggregate.

Using the raw Method

For the provided SQL query, a simple yet effective way to execute it in your Django app is through the raw function. Here’s how you can do it:

Detailed Breakdown

YourModel: Replace YourModel with the Django model class that represents the dbp_istasyondata table.

raw Method: This method allows you to execute raw SQL queries directly against your database. Just ensure the query aligns with the model's expected fields.

Alternative Method: Django QuerySet API

For many cases, instead of using raw SQL, it’s advisable to utilize Django's QuerySet API for better safety and readability. Here’s how you might reconstruct the SQL query using the Django ORM without raw SQL:

Import Necessary Functions:

You may need to import aggregation functions like Count, JSONField, and Func from django.db.models.

Aggregation:

Utilize the annotate method to create the necessary aggregations. Django provides a way to apply functions similar to SQL.

Example:
Here’s a basic structure that you might follow if you want to aggregate the data without using raw SQL:

Conclusion

While there might be instances when you need to execute raw SQL, Django's ORM provides robust functionality to handle most queries more securely and efficiently. Whenever possible, prefer using Django’s built-in methods to maintain readability and leverage Django's capabilities fully.

By utilizing methods like raw and annotate, you can translate complex SQL queries into Python code that integrates seamlessly with your Django application.
