Select DISTINCT individual columns in django?

Question

I\'m curious if there\'s any way to do a query in Django that\'s not a \"SELECT * FROM...\" underneath. I\'m trying to do a \"SELECT DISTINCT columnName F

Answer 1

It's quite simple actually if you're using PostgreSQL, just use distinct(columns) (documentation).

Productorder.objects.all().distinct('category')

Note that this feature has been included in Django since 1.4
