If you'd rather have zeros, then use this: select thing, name, ifnull(vote, 0.0) from mydatabase_votecontext left join mydatabase_vote on (mydatabase_vote.context_id = mydatabase_votecontext.id) where thing='Carrot' and user='Me' There still might be a way to do it with the ORM; but you can definitely use raw sql for this. -- Regards, Ian Clelland <clell...@gmail.com> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
