The thing is, this is a DB API snippet, not a Django snippet 
specifically.  If Django were a DB API toolbox, then it might make 
sense to include it in some form or other.  But it's not, so in the 
interest of keeping things relatively tidy I'm a -0 on this.

It is often said here that Django ORM is designed to do 80% of the 
stuff, the rest can be done using raw SQL. So, giving pointers to 
users how to perform the raw SQL as painlessly as possible is 
something Django documentation should do.

Could we get some more feedback on this??
