Django ORM Tip: F() Expressions for Database-Level Operations

F() expressions allow you to reference model field values directly within database operations. This avoids fetching data into Python memory, making queries more efficient for updates or comparisons directly on the database.

from django.db.models import F
from your_app.models import Product # Assuming a Product model with 'stock' and 'price' fields

Increment the stock of all products by 5 directly in the database

Product.objects.all().update(stock=F('stock') + 5)

Update the price to be 10% higher than the current price

Product.objects.all().update(price=F('price')  1.1)

Filter for products where the stock is less than 10 times its price

low_ratio_products = Product.objects.filter(stock__lt=F('price')  10)
