Following relationships backwards
---------------------------------
In a way similar to :ref:`lookups-that-span-relationships`, aggregations and
annotations on fields of models or models that are related to the one you are
querying can include traversing "reverse" relationships. The lowercase name
of related models and double-underscores are used here too.
For example, we can ask for all publishers, annotated with their respective
total book stock counters (note how we use `'book'` to specify the
Publisher->Book reverse foreign key hop)::
>>> from django.db.models import Count, Min, Sum, Max, Avg
>>> Publisher.objects.annotate(Count('book'))
(Every Publisher in the resulting QuerySet will have an extra attribute called
``book__count``.)
We can also ask for the oldest book of any of those managed by every publisher::
>>> Publisher.objects.aggregate(oldest_pubdate=Min('book__pubdate'))
(The resulting dictionary will have a key called ``'oldest_pubdate'``. If no
such alias was specified, it would be the rather long ``'book__pubdate__min'``.)
This doesn't apply just to foreign keys. It also works with many-to-many
relations. For example, we can ask for every author, annotated with the total
number of pages considering all the books he/she has (co-)authored (note how we
use `'book'` to specify the Author->Book reverse many-to-many hop)::
>>> Author.objects.annotate(total_pages=Sum('book__pages'))
(Every Author in the resulting QuerySet will have an extra attribute called
``total_pages``. If no such alias was specified, it would be the rather long
``book__pages__sum``.)
Or ask for the average rating of all the books written by author(s) we have on
file::
>>> Author.objects.aggregate(average_rating=Avg('book__rating'))
(The resulting dictionary will have a key called ``'average__rating'``. If no
such alias was specified, it would be the rather long ``'book__rating__avg'``.)
