title: Is it possible to use raw SQL with python's django web framework?
body: <p>I'm switching from PHP to Django/Python, and one thing I don't really like about django so far is the ORM. When inserting new rows, it's fine, but when I want to SELECT something more specific, I find that the ORM is more troublesome than pure SQL, specially since I already know SQL quite well. </p>
  
  <p>So, can I write pure SQL in Django, or I am forced to use the ORM?</p>
  
  <p>If it's possible, examples on how to use SQL in django would be very welcome. </p>
