Re: DB-Lookup on dynamically created fieldname
Maybe you could do something like this?
filterargs = {}
filterargs[fieldname] = some value
# or for other types of filtering
filterargs["%s__istartswith" % fieldname] = somevalue
mdl.objects.filter(**filterargs)
You might also want to take a look at the function get_model()
from django.db.models import get_model()
mdl = get_model('appname','modelname')

DB-Lookup on dynamically created fieldname
Hello group, I have some models in my app that have several fields. First, my code picks dynamically one of the models from a string-variable, sth. like: mdl = eval(model_name), where model_name contains the name the model. Then, I want to lookup a field in that model, but again I also only got its name in a string-var. So what I'm trying to do is sth. like: mdl.objects.get(eval(field_name)=somevalue). Here I get of course a syntax error (keyword can't be an expression), but I hope my problem is made clear. Does anyone have an idea how I could get around this? Any help is appreciated :) Regards, Andreas --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
