I am using Django Rest Framework for serialize data. I came across a scenario where I have to use Database Views as Model.
*My Model* class A(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=240, blank=True) value = models.CharField(max_length=240, blank=True) class Meta: db_table = 'tbl_a' class B(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=240, blank=True) value = models.CharField(max_length=240, blank=True) class Meta: db_table = 'tbl_b' *Database View Query* CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW ab_view AS SELECT id,name,value FROM tabl_a WHERE name='foo' UNION (SELECT b.id,b.name,b.value FROM tabl_b b WHERE b.name='foo') *Model For Database View* class ABView(models.Model): id = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True) name = models.CharField(max_length=240, blank=True) value = models.CharField(max_length=240, blank=True) class Meta: db_table = u'ab_view' managed = False *Print Text Query* query = ABView.objects.all()print query.count() #output (1000) When I used ABView as Model in serializer class in it shows me error TypeError at /ViewName/ 'source' is an invalid keyword argument for this function class ABViewSerializer(rest_serializer.Serializer): class Meta: model = AbView fields = ('name', 'value') *View* class ABViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet): serializer_class = ABSerializer queryset = ABView.objects.all() Is there anything missing in this code? Can I use Database View in Django REST Framework? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
