Description
I suggest to add ArrayAgg and related (aggregation) functions for MariaDB to Django. It has been noted in MariaDB Foundation ticket: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-340967
E.g. ArrayAgg is mentioned on PostgreSQL specific aggregation functions:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/postgres/aggregates/#arrayagg
The equivalent in MariaDB is presumably this:
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/json_arrayagg/
More equivalent MariaDB aggregate functions are listed at the following address.
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/aggregate-functions/
Some have same name 1:1. I'm guessing e.g. StringAgg could be done with GROUP_CONCAT.
Feel free to ask more here, or in the MariaDB Foundation ticket.
