# it is copy paste from the django documentation 
# the difference is in this function is that  an sql string is passed as parameter instead of cursor

from django.db import connection

    "Return data from raw sql query  as a dict"
    with connection.cursor() as cursor:
        cursor.execute(query)

            dict(zip(columns, row))
            for row in cursor.fetchall()
