Description
The Django database documentation doesn't currently describe the low-level API for writing your own SQL, using django.db.connection, cursors and so on. (It does explain the extra() clause on QuerySets which covers 80% of cases). Documentation for this should demonstrate writing custom model methods that run their own SQL queries, thus encouraging best practises.

The model docs have it here:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model_api/#executing-custom-sql
This is a bit confusing, because the database API docs should point this out as well. I'll make the addition.
