Hi, I'm new to django and also new to databases. I'm trying to make a simple contact editor. So I created the following model :
class Contact(models.Model): nom_famille = models.CharField("nom de famille", max_length=30) # french for last name prenom = models.CharField("prénom", max_length=30) # french for first name [ ...] naissance = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True) # french for birthday I've filled the created database with some vacrd, and now I'm stuck with some database problems : 1 ) how to get all contacts with a known birthday ? I tried : m = Contact.objects.filter(naissance__is_null=False) but I got the following exception : <class 'django.core.exceptions.FieldError'>: Join on field 'naissance' not permitted. what does that mean ? 2 ) I would like to make a view presenting the anniversaries of the next 30 days. I haven't found in the do how to elaborate complexes queries and how to combine conditions with an "OR" Can you points me some documentation on this ? So finally, I've thought to the following code : import datetime today = datetime.datetime.today() datelim = today + datetime.timedelta(30) anniv = Contact.objects.filter( naissance__is_null=False, naissance__month__range=(today.month, datelim.month) ).exclude( naissance__month=today.month, naissance__day__lt=today.day).exclude( naissance__month=datelim.month, naissance__day__gt=datelim.day) But I have the same error that before : <class 'django.core.exceptions.FieldError'>: Join on field 'naissance' not permitted. any clue ? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
