Django SUM Query?

Question

I have a query akin to the following:

SELECT SUM(ISNULL(table.name)) FROM table

How does that SUM

Answer 1

Update: The following incorporates the ISNULL aspect of the original query:

from django.db.models import Sum

ModelName.objects.filter(field_name__isnull=True).aggregate(Sum('field_name'))
# returns {'field_name__sum': 1000} for example

You're looking for the Sum aggregation function, which works as follows:

ModelName.objects.aggregate(Sum('field_name'))
