How can I perform asynchronous database queries in Django?

You can use Django's built-in support for async views and the database_sync_to_async utility to run database queries asynchronously.

Can you show me a code example of that?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from asgiref.sync import database_sync_to_async
from myapp.models import MyModel

@database_sync_to_async
def get_data():
    return MyModel.objects.all()

async def my_view(request):
    data = await get_data()
    return JsonResponse({'data': list(data.values())})

What are the benefits of using async queries?

Async queries can improve the performance of your application by allowing other tasks to run while waiting for database operations to complete.
