Compare column entries in database query
Hi everybody! I want to find all entries in a database where two specific fields are equal: mytable.objects.filter(column_a='column_b') But this gives me no results at all. I now managed to get it done with a .extra(), but I was wondering if this is the only possible solution. All examples in the documentation work with static values for comparison and there are no further details about the right hand side of the query. Thanks for reading! Thomas. P.S.: Here's the query which get's the work done: mytable.objects.extra(where=['column_a=column_b']) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
