sql-wise, that query of yours will have to scan the entire table to find records, because you're applying a function to a date. Even if you think to put an index on logtime, the result won't change. thanks to god, you have datetime in python :D
now_1 = request.now.date() - datetime.timedelta(days=1) now_2 = request.now.date() - datetime.timedelta(days=2) results = db( (db.logtable.logtime < now_1) & (db.logtable.logtime > now_2) ).select(orderby=~db.logtable.logtime) On Tuesday, October 8, 2013 3:44:44 AM UTC+2, Dave S wrote: > > I have figured out that I'm interested in queries like > > results = db.executesql("SELECT * FROM logtable where logtime < > date('now','-1 day') AND logtime > date('now','-2 days') ORDER BY logtime > DESC") ; > > > How would I rewrite that as DAL query? > > Thanks. > > /dps > > > -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
