Ordering and Slicing
Slicing
Slicing, like Author.objects.all()[:1], retrieves a QuerySet limited to a specified range.
Remember that slicing on QuerySets, like [:1], is performed at the database level, so it's an efficient way to limit the number of results returned by a query.
Author.objects.all()[:2]
Returns the first two objects (equivalent to LIMIT 2 in SQL).
Author.objects.all()[1:3]
Fetches the second and third objects from the table (akin to OFFSET 1 LIMIT 2 in SQL).
Ordering
To sort a QuerySet, use the order_by method with the attribute name for ordering. Prepend '-' for descending order.
Author.objects.order_by('first_name')
For ascending order ( SELECT * FROM Author ORDER BY first_name;).
Author.objects.order_by('-first_name')
For descending order ( SELECT * FROM Author ORDER BY first_name DESC;).
To define multiple ordering criteria in one order_by statement:
Author.objects.order_by('first_name', '-last_name')
(SELECT * FROM Author ORDER BY first_name ASC, last_name DESC;).
1. What does the Django query Author.objects.all()[:1] return?
2. How does Django perform slicing on QuerySets like [:1]?
3. What is the SQL equivalent of Author.objects.all()[:2]?
4. How do you sort a QuerySet in ascending order by the 'first_name' field?
5. Which Django query sorts authors first by ascending 'first_name' and then by descending 'last_name'?
