Error while using date between in django raw query

I am always getting this error TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

Here is my query

State.objects.raw('...review_create_date between %s and %s group by error_type',[fromdate,todate])

Here fromdate=2011-05-21 and todate='2011-05-27'

The above query executes in mysql prompt but could not able to run in python shell

Please some one help me

Here is the traceback

 Traceback (most recent call last):

django raw sql query in view

I also faced this issue, so I changed the old formatting to new using format and it worked for me.

models.py

class VehicleDamage(models.Model):
    requestdate = models.DateTimeField("requestdate")
    vendor_name = models.CharField("vendor_name", max_length=50)
    class Meta:
        managed=False

views.py

def location_damageReports(request):
    #static date for testing
    date_from = '2019-11-01'
    date_to = '2019-21-01'
    vehicle_damage_reports = VehicleDamage.objects.raw("SELECT * FROM VendorReport_vehicledamage WHERE requestdate BETWEEN '{0}' AND '{1}'".format(date_from, date_to))
    damage_report = DashboardDamageReportSerializer(vehicle_damage_reports, many=True)
    data={"data": damage_report.data}
    return HttpResponse(json.dumps(data), content_type="application/json")

Try using ? instead of %s.
