Use pure SQL or ORM in Django?

Question

Django

The question is.
Does Django's built-in ORM work fine, or is it better to use pure SQL to optimize performance?

Answer 1

Judging by the formulation of the question, you will have enough speed, but it is important to understand what queries are generated, to be able to use prefetch_related and select_related when necessary.

Answer 2

To optimize the speed of work, you need to understand how the ORM works and what code it will generate.
