Generic relations and aggregation
---------------------------------
:ref:`Django's database aggregation API <topics-db-aggregation`
doesn't work with a
:class:`~django.contrib.contenttypes.generic.GenericRelation`. For example, you
might be tempted to try something like::
Bookmark.objects.aggregate(Count('tags'))
This will not work correctly, however. The generic relation adds extra filters
to the queryset to ensure the correct content type, but the ``aggregate`` method
doesn't take them into account. For now, if you need aggregates on generic
relations, you'll need to calculate them without using the aggregation API.
