About this session

Database generated columns are a killer feature for Django and are now available in Django 5.0 with the new GeneratedField.

The value of a GeneratedField is computed entirely by the database based on the other fields in the model, opening up very interesting usage scenarios.

In this talk, we will learn together how to use this field through various practical examples, using various Django supported database backends.
