RE: count from multiple tables in a single query?

Hi Abraham,

If the models are related, you can use double underscore notation with the Count aggregate function.

If the models are unrelated, then I'm fairly certain that you can only use separate queries to get your results.

Subject: count from multiple tables in a single query?

 

Hello,

Is it possible to get the count of entries from multiple tables in a single query call? I'm looking at the official docs on aggregation and I can't find anything. For example assume I have the following 2 tables,

class Author(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    age = models.IntegerField()

class Publisher(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=300)
    num_awards = models.IntegerField()

If I want to get the total count from both tables it can be done like this,

author_count = Author.objects.count()
publisher_count = Publisher.objects.count()

My concern is that this results in two different queries to the database. Can it be done with a single query call?


Yours,
Abraham V.
