Error: Object of type datetime is not JSON serializable

See original GitHub issue

Hello!

This project is great. I’ve run into an issue though. I was trying to run this (unfinished) query:

select m.id, m.pub_name, m.pub_id, m.contents_restricted, 
	array_agg(s.updated_at) as sub_dates
from main_manuscript m
left join main_submission s on m.id=s.manuscript_id
group by m.id, m.pub_name, m.pub_id, m.contents_restricted
order by m.id

The problem is that django-sql-dashboard errors out because it doesn’t know how to serialize the s.updated_at DateTime field for working with array_agg.

As far as I could tell the only way to fix this would be to fork the codebase? Am I missing something? Thanks!

This is the code causing the error: https://github.com/simonw/django-sql-dashboard/blob/ea3c2bebeb9b4d567991840f8046f18d9d0ffab8/django_sql_dashboard/utils.py#L53-L56
