GROUP_CONCAT equivalent in Django

You can create your own Aggregate Function (doc)

from django.db.models import Aggregate

class Concat(Aggregate):
    function = 'GROUP_CONCAT'
    template = '%(function)s(%(distinct)s%(expressions)s)'

    def __init__(self, expression, distinct=False, **extra):
        super(Concat, self).__init__(
            expression,
            distinct='DISTINCT ' if distinct else '',
            output_field=CharField(),
            **extra)

and use it simply as:

query_set = Fruits.objects.values('type').annotate(count=Count('type'),
                       name = Concat('name')).order_by('-count')

I am using django 1.8 and mysql 4.0.3

NOTICE that Django (>=1.8) provides Database functions support. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/database-functions/#concat

Here is an enhanced version of Shashank Singla

from django.db.models import Aggregate, CharField

class GroupConcat(Aggregate):
    function = 'GROUP_CONCAT'
    template = '%(function)s(%(distinct)s%(expressions)s%(ordering)s%(separator)s)'

    def __init__(self, expression, distinct=False, ordering=None, separator=',', **extra):
        super(GroupConcat, self).__init__(
            expression,
            distinct='DISTINCT ' if distinct else '',
            ordering=' ORDER BY %s' % ordering if ordering is not None else '',
            separator=' SEPARATOR "%s"' % separator,
            output_field=CharField(),
            **extra
        )

Usage:

LogModel.objects.values('level', 'info').annotate(
    count=Count(1), time=GroupConcat('time', ordering='time DESC', separator=' | ')
).order_by('-time', '-count')
