How to change join and group by SQL to ORM in Django

I'm new in Django. So, I want to join two models which are company and client and count the number of clients for each of the company. Here the SQL
SELECT Company_company.name, count(Client_client.cid)
FROM Company_company
LEFT JOIN Client_client
ON Company_company.comid = Client_client.comid_id
GROUP BY Company_company.name;
But since in Django, we use ORM. So I'm a little bit confusing since I'm a beginner. I already refer few SQL to ORM converter website such as Django ORM and do some try and error. But, I didn't know where the problem since I want the output from the ORM to be classified into a different array. Here is my code:
labels = []
data = []
queryClientCompany = client.objects.values('comid').annotate(c=Count('cid')).values('comid__name','c')
for comp in queryClientCompany:
labels.append(comp.comid__name)
data.append(comp.c)
Here some of the relevant things in the client and company models:
class client (models.Model):
#client info
cid = models.AutoField(primary_key = True)
comid = models.ForeignKey(company,related_name='companys',
on_delete = models.DO_NOTHING,verbose_name="Company",null = True, blank = True)
class company(models.Model):
comid = models.AutoField(_('Company'),primary_key = True)
#company info
name = models.CharField(_('Company Name'),max_length = 50)
The error stated that the comid__name is not defined. So actually how to append the result? I hope someone can help me. Thank you for helping in advanced.

You should query from the opposite side to perform the LEFT OUTER JOIN between company and client (and not client and company):
from django.db.models import Count
labels = []
data = []
queryClientCompany = company.objects.annotate(
c=Count('companys__cid')
)
for comp in queryClientCompany:
labels.append(comp.name)
data.append(comp.c)
The companys part is due to the related_name='copanys', but it does not make much sense to name this relation that way. The related_name=… parameter [Django-doc] specifies how to access the Clients for a given Company, so clients is a more appropriate value for the related_name:
class client (models.Model):
cid = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
comid = models.ForeignKey(
company,
related_name='clients',
on_delete = models.DO_NOTHING,
verbose_name="Company",
null = True,
blank = True
)
then the query is:
from django.db.models import Count
labels = []
data = []
queryClientCompany = company.objects.annotate(
c=Count('clients__cid')
)
for comp in queryClientCompany:
labels.append(comp.name)
data.append(comp.c)

Filter Django model on reverse relationship list

I have two Django models as follows:
class Event(models.Model):
name = models.CharField()
class EventPerson(models.Model):
event = models.ForeignKey('Event',on_delete='CASCADE',related_name='event_persons')
person_name = models.CharField()
If an Event exists in the database, it will have exactly two EventPerson objects that are related to it.
What I want to do is to determine if there exists an Event with a given name AND that have a given set of two people (EventPersons) in that event. Is this possible to do in a single Django query?
I know I could write python code like this to check, but I'm hoping for something more efficient:
def event_exists(eventname,person1name,person2name):
foundit=False
for evt in Event.objects.filter(name=eventname):
evtperson_names = [obj.person_name in evt.event_persons.all()]
if len(evtperson_names) == 2 and person1name in evtperson_names and person2name in evtperson_names:
foundit=True
break
return foundit
Or would it be better to refactor the models so that Event has person1name and person2name as its own fields like this:
class Event(models.Model):
name = models.CharField()
person1name = models.CharField()
person2name = models.CharField()
The problem with this is that there is no natural ordering for person1 and person2, ie if the persons are "Bob" and "Sally" then we could have person1name="Bob" and person2name="Sally" or we could have person1name="Sally" and person2name="Bob".
Suggestions?

You can query for EventPerson objects where the event name is as given instead, use the values_list to extract the person_name field, and convert the returning list of values to a set for an unordered comparison:
def event_exists(eventname, person1name, person2name):
return set(EventPerson.objects.filter(event__name=eventname).values_list(
'person_name', flat=True)) == {person1name, person2name}

I modified #blhsing answer slightly adding a filter on names.
def event_exists(eventname, person1name, person2name):
event_people = EventPerson.objects.select_related('event').filter(person_name__in=[person1name, person2name], event__name=eventname)
return set(event_people.values_list('person_name', flat=True)) person1name, person2name}
I would suggest passing EventPerson objects or theird ids to this function instead of just names, would make filtering easier (you wouldn't need a set and filter straight by ids) and more efficient (by using db indices ... or you would have to index person_name as well)

Django - cannot retrieve just one record in multi-part filter on model with multiple relations

I can't seem to isolate a single record from this query:
subcust = OwnerCustom.objects.get(carcustom=ncset, owner=sset)
This is the error:
OwnerCustom matching query does not exist
In the actual data, there is only actually one matching record in OwnerCustom for each record in CarCustom. It's supposed to be a kind of many-to-many where there are standard differences listed in CarCustom for each Car, and each owner may maintain their own customizations (overrides) or those default OwnerCustom entries.
Note, there are many different Owner of the same Car. And of course, I'm not actually doing cars, this is a renaming from the original purpose.
Here's the relevant models:
class Car(models.Model):
car_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
class CarCustom(models.Model):
car = models.ForeignKey(Car, models.PROTECT)
class Owner(models.Model):
car = models.ForeignKey(Car, models.PROTECT)
class OwnerCustom(models.Model):
owner = models.ForeignKey(Owner, models.PROTECT)
carcustom = models.ForeignKey(CarCustom, models.PROTECT)
name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
And the code:
car_queryset = Car.objects.filter(car_name="fancy car")
for nset in car_queryset:
owner_queryset = Owner.objects.filter(car=nset)
for sset in owner_queryset :
carcustom_queryset = CarCustom.objects.filter(car=nset)
for ncset in carcustom_queryset:
subcust = OwnerCustom.objects.get(carcustom=ncset, owner=sset)
I've tried stuff like:
subcust = OwnerCustom.objects.filter(carcustom=ncset, owner=sset).first()
Which gives me a NoneType, and then tried:
subcust = OwnerCustom.objects.filter(carcustom=ncset, owner=sset)[:1].get()
Which gives "matching query does not exist" and this:
subcust = OwnerCustom.objects.filter(carcustom=ncset, owner=sset)[0]
Gives "list index out of range"
UPDATE: I CAN get a working function by using code like this, but I would think since there is only one (guaranteed by application) matching record possible for OwnerCustom.objects.filter(carcustom=ncset, owner=sset) that I could find a better way to fetch it:
car_queryset = Car.objects.filter(car_name="fancy car")
for nset in car_queryset:
owner_queryset = Owner.objects.filter(car=nset)
for sset in owner_queryset :
carcustom_queryset = CarCustom.objects.filter(car=nset)
for ncset in carcustom_queryset:
subcust_queryset = OwnerCustom.objects.filter(carcustom=ncset, owner=sset)
for subcust in subcust_queryset :
logger.info(subcust.name)

How to select records in the case of a many to many relation with ponyorm

I am new to ponyorm.
Suppose I have these two classes and a many-to-many relation among them:
class Student(db.Entity):
id = PrimaryKey(str)
name = Required(str)
courses = Set("Course")
class Course(db.Entity):
id = PrimaryKey(str)
name = Required(str)
semester = Required(int)
students = Set(Student)
And I want to select some courses which are followed by a particular student. What I do is:
student = Student.select(lambda s: s.id == id).get()
courses = Course.select(lambda c: c.students == student).get()
And I get this error:
Incomparable types 'Set of Student' and 'Student' in expression: c.students == student
What is the correct way to do this?
Thanks

I don't know the exact library but I think the issue is that c.students specifies the set of all students so testing for equality just like that doesn't make too much sense.
You might want to change your second line to something like this (I didn't test it though):
Course.select(lambda c: student in c.students).get()
This leaves me wondering if there is actually a better way to do this. If all you are trying is to retrieve the courses a specific students attends why don't you just retrieve the courses field from the variable student?
Something like
student = Student.select(lambda s: s.id == id).get()
student.courses # do something with it

How can I count the number of instances per a queryset? Django

I'm writing an action to set one field equal to the number of instances attached to it via a foreign key (see below)
Models.py
class competition(models):
competition_name = models.CharField(max_length = 50)
class people(models):
competition = models.ForeignKey(competition)
fullname = models.CharField(max_length = 100)
Admin.py
def people_in_competition:
for X in queryset:
X.number_of_people = X.count(X.set_all) #(I want the number of people in this competition in this part)
X.save()
Of course this gives me an error as I cant seem to use _set_all in admin.py, does it only work in templates? What would be the best way to figure that number out?

Use the backward relation:
X.number_of_people = X.people_set.all().count()
