Django ORM abstracts and simplifies database interactions, but sometimes we need native SQL queries. Is it reasonable to mix these two approaches in the same query, such as using raw SQL within a queryset? In terms of performance, maintenance, and security, in which situations should we prefer this mix? How do you balance this trade-off? Could you share examples from your experience?
How does mixing native SQL queries with Django's ORM affect performance?

Dude, when we add native SQL using `raw()` in ORM, does it execute the rest of the queryset lazily or eagerly? Honestly, what's the most critical point to measure the performance of this combo? Can you show me with an example?
