 Similar to this post here from 9+ years ago:
 https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/22438

 We have queries being generated that use "inner join" - which should be
 fine, but the SQL engine optimiser is not playing nice with it.
 When I swap "inner join" for "straight_join" - thus by-passing the
 optimiser - I get the performance I'd expect.
 With "inner join" - 1+ hour
 With "straight_join" - 2 seconds.

 This isnt a fault of Django, but after a lot of researching and tinkering,
 it appears sometimes you have to by-pass the optimiser to get the exact
 query you want.

 Is this possible to do in Django? Perhaps Ive missed it in the docs. Even
 if its something a bit hacky like:

 qs = myModel.object.filters(....).otherStuff(...)
 qs.raw_sql.replace("inner ", "straight_")

 that would be enough for me to test this further.

 Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
