How can I use Django shell for advanced tasks?

You can use Django shell to interact with your models, run queries, and test code snippets in real-time.

Can you show me how to query a model in the shell?

Sure! First, you need to import your model. For example, from myapp.models import MyModel. Then you can query it using MyModel.objects.all().

What about filtering results?

You can filter results using the filter() method. For example, MyModel.objects.filter(field_name='value') will return matching records.

Is it possible to create a new instance from the shell?

Yes, you can create a new instance by instantiating the model and calling save(). For example: obj = MyModel(field_name='value'); obj.save().
