Left Outer Join

I'm reasonably fluent in SQL, and while I've found Django's ORM is great for basic CRUD operations, I'm having trouble creating joins. For example, I have a three tables, Article, Rating, and User. Rating stores a user's rating of a particular article. I'm trying to create a view that lists

Re: Root Access

The only thing you really /need/ root for is having some web server process (usually Apache or lighttpd, for example) bind to port 80. Everything else can be done without it. In fact, in any typical set up, once port 80 has been bound to you're not running as root any more anyway.

Tim, It is possible to get django running without root access but you will need certain levels of permissions to do things like adding libraries to the python path, there are guides to installing Django on shared hosting environments like dreamhost where they don't give you root - though they

I don't think that is true, the only time I needed root was when I was symlinking django into /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ but since you can put it anywhere on your python path, you just need to symlink it somewhere that's on your path and doesn't require root, since you need a location like
