How to exclude all columns of a table from a query?

Question

Django

As we defined in the previous topic , I need a query like Model.objects.filter(q).values('column').annotate(Count('column')). Now actually the main problem is that this query gets a column that I don't need from the database. I need to get only count, without this column. How to remake this query so that it does not take the column from the database?
P.S. I suspect that values('column') is basically redundant here. But if this is removed, then all the data in the table is loaded in general. In general, I need not to load a single column, but only a count request.
P.S. Some sort of defer('*') is needed. Too bad it doesn't work like that. :( And listing the names of all columns is not an option. Suddenly I will change the structure of the table ...

Answer 1

Use values() or value_list()
