Django ORM join without foreign keys and without raw queries

Question

A

class AKeywords(models.Model):
    id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True, db_column="kw_id")
    word = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    ...

    class Meta:
        managed = False
        db_table = '"A"."Keywords"'

B

class BKeywords(models.Model):
    id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True, db_column="kw_id")
    word = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    ...
    class Meta:
        managed = False
        db_table = '"B"."Keywords"'

I have another model where i would like to perform my join.

class XKeywords(models.Model):
    ...
    k_id = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)
    ...

    class Meta:
        managed = False
        db_table = '"public"."XKeywords"'

I have two models that are very similar, one comes from a database schema and another from another database schema. A third model that will be to join with table A or B has i want.

How can i join model A or B without using foreignkeys and raw queries?

Answer 1

This will work:

XKeywords.objects.filter(pk_id=my_id).extra(select={'word':'SELECT word FROM "A"."Keywords" WHERE "public"."XKeywords".k_id = "A"."Keywords".kw_id'})

or

raw_sql = """SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM "public"."XKeywords" WHERE pk_id = my_id) as "XK" LEFT OUTER JOIN  "A"."Keywords" as "AK" ON "AK".kw_id = "XK".k_id ;"""
XKeywords.objects.raw(raw_sql)

This is an workaround i was expecting something more "clever". It would be nice to have something more directly like:

XKeywords.objects.filter(pk_id=my_id).join(k_id=A.kwd,from={"AKeywords":"A"})
