Raw SQL queries in Django views

Question

How would I perform the following using raw SQL in views.py?

from app.models import Picture

def results(request):
    all = Picture.objects.all         


        

Answer 1

It can be done within one query if you are using PostgreSQL. If not, you can change the query accordingly and get the results.

from django.db import connection
from app.models import Picture

def results(request):
    with connection.cursor() as cursor:
        query = """
        SELECT count(*) as all_count, 
        count(*) FILTER(WHERE vote = 'yes') as yes_count
        FROM people_person;
        """
        cursor.execute(query)
        row = cursor.fetchone()
        all_count, yes_count = row
