Transform data with django ORM












0















I have the following model:



class Entry(models.Model):

name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
date = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
material = models.CharField(max_length=20])
price = models.FloatField(null=True)


With data as follows:



john, 2011-01-21, GOLD, 10.00
blair, 2011-01-21, GOLD, 20.00
peter, 2011-01-21, SILVER, 21.00
peter, 2011-01-22, GOLD, 11.00
john, 2011-01-22, SILVER, 12.00


I would like to:




  • aggregate (addition) by material per date

  • produce an entry per day, with all the available materials (not known in advance)


As follows:



DATE        GOLD   SILVER
2011-01-21 30.00 21.00
2011-01-22 11.00 12.00


(dates not present in the input data will not get an output row)



How can this be achieved in SQL? With Django ORM?



Note: my database backend is Postgres

  • Are you concerned about the timezones of the datetime field? It's possible that one entry was for a different date locally than another entry.

This should do the trick for you. As a heads up, if you need to respect timezones, this becomes a much more difficult thing to do via the ORM.



from django.db.models import DateField
from django.db.models.functions import Cast
Entry.objects.annotate(
d=Cast('date', DateField())
).values('d', 'material').annotate(
total=Sum('price')
)

  • Would this produce entries with three rows, DATE, GOLD and SILVER?

    – dangonfast
    Nov 14 '18 at 15:33











  • No. This will return the entries annotated on date and material with the total price. Use .first().__dict__ to see how it's exactly working with your data.
