[google-appengine] Re: Query filter using an entity's inline property
Just noticed there is a small typo in the code above, the query should be hitting WaitingQuestions, not WaitingAnswer.

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Query filter using an entity's inline property
You want something like (Where N is some number): Select * from myModel Where Prop1 + Prop2 N No do that here impossible in GAE. Just change the question_ttl property into expiration_timestamp (or maybe us a nice short prop name) and calculate that future expiration date when the entity is created (and recalculate it if 'question_ttl' ever changes). So you just need to query for: WaitingQuestion.all().filter('expiration_timestamp ', datetime.now()) On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 11:04 AM, Lenny Rachitsky lenny...@gmail.comwrote: Just noticed there is a small typo in the code above, the query should be hitting WaitingQuestions, not WaitingAnswer.
