When using :doc:`raw queries </topics/db/sql>`, you should generally wrap
your geometry fields with the ``asText()`` SQL function (or ``ST_AsText``
for PostGIS) so that the field value will be recognized by GEOS::
When using :doc:`raw queries </topics/db/sql>`, you must wrap your geometry
fields so that the field value can be recognized by GEOS::
City.objects.raw('SELECT id, name, asText(point) from myapp_city')
from django.db import connection
# or if you're querying a non-default database:
from django.db import connections
connection = connections['your_gis_db_alias']
This is not absolutely required by PostGIS, but generally you should only
use raw queries when you know exactly what you are doing.
City.objects.raw('SELECT id, name, %s as point from myapp_city' % (connection.ops.select % 'point'))

* Support for GEOS 3.3.x is dropped.
* The way data is selected for ``GeometryField`` is changed to improve
performance, and in raw SQL queries, those fields must now be wrapped in
``connection.ops.select``. See the :ref:`Raw queries note<gis-raw-sql>` in
the GIS tutorial for an example.
