Django Orm

What it does

This skill provides access to Django's Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) capabilities. It allows you to interact with databases using Python code, defining models and performing queries without writing raw SQL. This enables efficient data management and manipulation within a Django project.

When to use it

• Automated Database Migrations: Generate database migration files based on model changes for consistent schema updates.
• Data Retrieval & Filtering: Retrieve specific records from a database table based on complex criteria, such as date ranges or user roles.
• CRUD Operations: Perform Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations on data stored in the database through Python code.
• Report Generation: Construct queries to extract data for generating reports or dashboards.
