This is a generic question because I am a newbie and things are not gelling quite 100% on how to write Q statements to get a filter to do everything one wants.
Let's say you have Table A and Table B and Table C, where Table B has a foreign key to table A and Table C (a manually constructed many to many because it has extra data elements) Now I want to build a list of all elements from table A, where not exists a record in Table B that is related to table A and also has a couple values = to something, and related to a particular table C record) In SQL this would look like: select * from a where not exists (select * from B,C where a.id=b.aforeignkey and c.id=b.cforeignkey and b.filter1=blah and c.filter2=blah) How does that look when you are building an object list in the Q( )... style format? Where I am hung up is finding syntax examples of how to do the functional equivalent of a sql where not exists clause. Is there a way to do this without using .extra() and using just normal django? -Wes Wagner -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
