Using `RawSQL` with `model._meta.pk.db_column` will add a verbatim SQL expression into the query. In this case, a reference to the primary key column, although without the proper table alias. This leads to a SQL error for QuerySets which already have a JOIN due to an ambiguous column (e.g. `id`). Use Django's `Cast` function with the `id` property to cast the primary key of the model into a string, which will automatically de-alias `pk` to the name of primary key field and use the correct table alias in the resulting query.
