I've tested with MySQL and SQLite, only MySQL exhibits the bug. This is a change in behavior from previous versions of Django where a Decimal would be returned. Environment: MySQL - 5.6.24 MySQL-python==1.2.5 Code to reproduce (new project / app): {{{ class Example(models.Model): foo = models.BooleanField(default=True) }}} Simple query to demonstrate the difference: {{{ # add a single row a = Example() a.save() # query Example.objects.all().aggregate(count=Count('foo'), sum=Sum('foo')) # results # notice Django 1.8 + MySQL Django 1.7.7 + MySQL {'count': 1, 'sum': Decimal('1')} Django 1.7.7 + SQLite {'count': 1, 'sum': 1} Django 1.8 + MySQL {'count': 1, 'sum': True} Django 1.8 + SQLite {'count': 1, 'sum': 1} # add a second row a = Example() a.save() # query Example.objects.all().aggregate(count=Count('foo'), sum=Sum('foo')) # results # notice Django 1.8 + MySQL now returns a decimal Django 1.7.7 + MySQL {'count': 2, 'sum': Decimal('2')} Django 1.7.7 + SQLite {'count': 2, 'sum': 2} Django 1.8 + MySQL {'count': 2, 'sum': Decimal('2')} Django 1.8 + SQLite {'count': 2, 'sum': 2} }}} -- -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/24662#comment:1> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
