Make sure your Django DEBUG setting is set to True.
Then do this:
>>> from django.db import connection
>>> connection.queries
[{'sql': 'SELECT polls_polls.id, polls_polls.question, polls_polls.pub_date FROM polls_polls',
'time': '0.002'}]
connection.queries is only available if DEBUG is True.
It’s a list of dictionaries in order of query execution. Each dictionary has
the following:
sql - The raw SQL statementtime - How long the statement took to execute, in seconds.connection.queries includes all SQL statements – INSERTs, UPDATES,
SELECTs, etc. Each time your app hits the database, the query will be recorded.
If you are using multiple databases, you can use the
same interface on each member of the connections dictionary:
>>> from django.db import connections
>>> connections["my_db_alias"].queries
If you need to clear the query list manually at any point in your functions,
call reset_queries(), like this:
from django.db import reset_queries
reset_queries()
Yes. See Integrating with a legacy database.
Take a look at Django’s support for schema migrations.
If you don’t mind clearing data, your project’s manage.py utility has a
flush option to reset the database to the state it was in
immediately after migrate was executed.
No. Only single-column primary keys are supported.
But this isn’t an issue in practice, because there’s nothing stopping you from
adding other constraints (using the unique_together model option or
creating the constraint directly in your database), and enforcing the
uniqueness at that level. Single-column primary keys are needed for things such
as the admin interface to work; e.g., you need a single value to specify
an object to edit or delete.
NoSQL databases are not officially supported by Django itself. There are, however, a number of side projects and forks which allow NoSQL functionality in Django.
You can take a look on the wiki page which discusses some projects.
We try to avoid adding special cases in the Django code to accommodate all the
database-specific options such as table type, etc. If you’d like to use any of
these options, create a migration with a
RunSQL operation that contains
ALTER TABLE statements that do what you want to do.
For example, if you’re using MySQL and want your tables to use the MyISAM table type, use the following SQL:
ALTER TABLE myapp_mytable ENGINE=MyISAM;
