Re: Unit Testing: temporarily altering django settings

Why doesn't setattr work? Just make sure you're setting the proper option because apps often cache options at e.g. their 'config.py' file in order to provide default values: # captha_app/config.py from django.conf import settings CAPTCHA = getattr(settings, 'CAPTCHA', True) So you'll have to

Re: Select x random rows from DB

This is the function for getting 1 item that works even if some rows were deleted that works times faster than order_by('?') even for not- so-big datasets at least on mysql: def get_random_item(model, max_id=None): if max_id is None: max_id =

Re: Query Set involving Model Method

It doesn't work that way. ORM translates you queries to SQL and the DB is responsible for filtering. It is not possible to translate arbitrary python function to SQL or pass it to DB engine. So you have to formulate you query using .filter syntax or raw SQL. Another possibility is to denormalize

Re: Access to request from tag

Hi Igor, If you use django <= 1.2 the you can replace 'render_to_response' with 'direct_to_template'. They do almost the same but 'direct_to_template' uses RequestContext by default: from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template def my_view(request): # ... return

Hi Rogério, You can give http://bitbucket.org/kmike/django-qsstats-magic/src a try. It currently have efficient aggregate lookups (1 query for the whole time series) only for mysql but it'll be great if someone contribute efficient lookups for other databases :) On 28 окт, 19:31, Rogério

Re: Performance monitoring

Performance monitoring doesn't have to be related to django itself. There are external projects that cant do performance monitoring (CPU, i/o, memory usage over time). You may give munin (http:// munin.projects.linpro.no/) a chance. On Dec 10, 7:43 am, Kegan Gan wrote: > Hi, >

Re: Filtering on model methods

I think if your methods are really complex then the best you can do is to denormalise your DB. Make your calculated fields real fields in a table and update them in model's save method or using signals. Another way is to make them calculated by DB using triggers or DB views but I would prefer

Re: Filtering on model methods

Maybe I wrote a reply without undersanding what you need. You have 2 separate issues: 1. Want to sort and filter by calculated field 2. Want to create calculated field that is calculated in python Am I correct? 1) can be acheived using ".extra" method or aggregations

Re: Filtering on model methods

If you want to be able to sort by some python method you have to fetch ALL data from all tables that are used in this method. It is indeed a bad practice and so it is not encouraged in django. The best you can do is to put your code to model's manager as a method. Model managers are often used

Yes, it's a single query. Take a look at django-debug-toolbar. It can display all SQL queries that was executed during request/response so you'll always be sure what's going on. On 26 окт, 03:12, wancharle sebastiao quirino wrote: > Hello, > > I currently am using raw sql
