How to create a Django queryset filter comparing two date fields in the same model
Trying to get a query where the Activity record is stale in my Solr Index.
I want to check to see if the Activity.updated
date in the database is greater than the Activity.added_toSolr_date
for the same record.
stale_activities_queryset = Activity.objects.filter(updated__gte = self.added_toSolr_date)
Model
class Activity(models.Model):
# Last time entry / metric was updated in the Activity model database
updated = models.DateTimeField( verbose_name="CRUD date")
# When it was added to Solr Index Date
added_toSolr_date = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True, verbose_name="Added to Solr Index Date")
I referenced Django Query docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/models/querysets/ And unit tests for samples: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/tests/modeltests/or_lookups/tests.py
Also searched here on Stackoverflow. All the examples use an entered date instead of comparing two date fields in the same model.
Solution 1:
F objects.
from django.db.models import F
stale_activities = Activity.objects.filter(updated__gte=F('added_toSolr_date'))
Solution 2:
The solution of Yuji Tomita, unfortunately, didn't work.
Consider a model below:
class list(models.Model):
text = models.CharField(max_length=140)
created = models.DateTimeField()
modified = models.DateTimeField()
Queryset:
my_list = todolist.objects.order_by('created').filter(created__gte=F('modified'))
Template:
{% if my_list %}
{% for list in my_list %}
{{ list.text}}
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
<p>there is no list</p>
{% endif %}
In the end I get an empty list, but I know, it is not correct. I have also used the following inside the template (without queryset filter):
{% if list.created|date:'d m y h:i:s' == list.modified|date:'d m y h:i:s' %}
It worked, but I would prefer to see a more elegant solution.
