How can I use Django ORM for async database queries?

You can use Django's async capabilities by utilizing the database_sync_to_async utility. This allows you to run ORM queries in an async context.

What database drivers support async queries in Django?

Currently, Django supports async queries with PostgreSQL using the asyncpg driver. Other drivers may have limited support.

Can you show me an example of an async query using Django ORM?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

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

async def get_data():
    data = await sync_to_async(MyModel.objects.all)()
    return data

Are there any performance considerations I should be aware of?

Yes, while async can improve performance, it also adds complexity. Make sure to profile your queries and test under load.
