Hi,
Is there a way in bean-query to specify custom rate ranges e.g "last 30
days". I tried to that with the following query, but get the following
error:
beancount> select * where (today() - date) < 30 limit 1
Traceback (most recent call last):

func = getattr(self, 'do_' + cmd)
AttributeError: 'BQLShell' object has no attribute 'do_select'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

TypeError: conversion from datetime.timedelta to Decimal is not supported
I understand what's going on, I think. The EvalSub function in
query_compile.py assumes the result to be Decimal, when "<date> - <date>"
results in datetime.timedelta
class EvalSub(EvalBinaryOp):
def __init__(self, left, right):
f = lambda x, y: Decimal(x - y)
super().__init__(f, left, right, Decimal)
Do you know if there is already any way to write queries of this type? This
will be super useful is writing queries in the main beancount file (using
the query directive) without needing to adjust the date directives every
time.
If there isn't, I wonder if we can implement such a feature. The way I see
it, since beancount quantizes time by the day, I feel like these functions
are easily defined:
- "<date> - <date>" should return the days. For example, '2018-01-01' -
'2017-01-01' = 365 etc.
- "<date> +/- <int> should add/subtract days from the date. For example,
'2018-01-01' + 1 = '2018-01-02' etc.
I see two ways of actually implementing it:
1. Add checks for the types of input to EvalSub/EvalMul etc methods in
query_compile.py. If both the first and second is date parameter for
EvalSub, extract the days from the result (<timedelta>.days); Else if the
first or second argument is of type date, convert the non-date param to a
timedelta(days=<value>).
2. Add new "simple functions" to the bean-query shell in query_shell.py.
They can be called date_diff(date, date) and date_adjust(date, int) - or
whatever else you feel works better. This is probably cleaner and easier.
Also, I can certainly help implement this if you need.
Thanks
