The following query does what I’d like it to do, however, I have no idea if it’s efficient. I went through the Django aggregation documentation, threw it together, looked at the query and tilted my head sideways like a confused dog.

What the query actually does is get published Entry’s ‘name’ and ‘name_slug’ that have one or more approved comments and orders the results by the latest comment’s ‘date_published’ field. The results are a list of recently active Entry’s.

So a few questions. (1) Is there anything you see in the query that’s just a plain no-no. (2) Is there a way that I can see the RAW SQL that’s querying the database?

Models:

class Entry(models.Model):     name = models.CharField(max_length=200, unique=True)     name_slug = models.SlugField(max_length=200, blank=True, editable=False, unique=True)     date_published = models.DateTimeField()     is_published = models.BooleanField(default=False)  class Comment(models.Model):     entry = models.ForeignKey('Entry')     date_published = models.DateTimeField()     approved_choices = (('N', 'No'), ('Y', 'Yes'), ('M', 'Needs Moderation'),)     approved = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=approved_choices, default='N')

Query:

active_entry_list = Entry.objects     .values('name', 'name_slug')     .filter(is_published=True, comment__approved='Y')     .annotate(latest_comment=Max('comment__date_published'),comments=Count('comment'))     .filter(comments__gte=1)     .order_by('-latest_comment')     [:6]
