Hi guys,

I'm making a refback type linkback app for my hobby CMS. I want to
find all the unique page targets. I am thinking broadly of a couple of
ways to do it. One with the ORM sort of line this:

targets = list(set([linkback.target_url for linkback in
LinkBacks.objects.all()]))

This seems like way too much work being done by the framework and the
database for a table which could in theory get very large. The other
way I was thinking of doing it was like this:

from django.db import connection
cursor = connection.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT target_url FROM linkbacks_linkback DISTINCT")
targets = [item[0] for item in cursor.fetchall()]

I'm leaning towards number 2, but I wonder if there is a better way to
do this with the Django ORM.

Thanks for any thoughts on this,

Stephen
