I have a case in which I need to return only 1 field from the related object (table). The docs give an example where I can return the related object in a query, but I need only one field from the related object.
For Example: I retrieve all the customers from the 'Customers' table. Each customer has many projects associated. (I am writing a project management system) I am using a template where I have an html table which lists all the customers (column 1), and then the number of projects associated with the customer (column 2) Customer | Number of Projects --------------------------------------------------- customer 1 | 4 customer 2 | 5 I can see clearly from the docs how to retrieve the entire projects table (from the foreign key), but I would be wasting resources by retrieving the entire table (mostly feeling like I am throwing data all over the place unnecessarily) I hope I have described the problem clearly. Thank you in advance for any help you can give. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
