Comment (by dedsm): wouldn't it be better if the BaseExpression had a public api for this instead of relying on third parties monkey patching by design? Something like: {{{ from django.db.models import Sum def backend_sum(self, compiler, connection): #do stuff Sum.add_backend('firebird', backend_sum) }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/25687#comment:4> 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.
