Phlip, I'm going to try and make a non-stupid comment now :) If you already know precisely the query you want to use, and you can't coerce django's ORM to produce it, can you simply use Manager.raw()[1] to generate the result set you are after?
Eg, Student.objects.raw(r'SELECT * FROM `student` WHERE mark=(select max(mark) from student)') Cheers Tom [1] http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/topics/db/sql/ On Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 3:17 PM, Phlip <phlip2...@gmail.com> wrote: >> st=Student.objects.filter(marks__in=Student.objects.all().aggregate(Max('ma >> rks'))) > > Aha - a marks__in may point to an aggregate subquery. > > In conclusion, screw my SQL server's optimizer.
