Dear all, I am trying to run simple mathematical operations with datetime and postgres as backend (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/functions-datetime.html) I've prepared this simple example code: from datetime import timedelta db.define_table('test_sum', Field('first_int', 'integer'), Field('second_int', 'integer'), Field('first_date', 'datetime'), Field('second_date', 'datetime'), )
db.test_sum.insert(first_int=40, second_int=30, first_date=request.now, second_date=request.now-timedelta(days=1)) diff_int = db.test_sum.first_int - db.test_sum.second_int diff_date = db.test_sum.first_date - db.test_sum.second_date print db(db.test_sum).select(diff_int) print db(db.test_sum).select(diff_date) With postgres the first query is executed correctly, the second failed raising the ticket: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/pvalleri/src/web2py/gluon/restricted.py", line 212, in restricted exec ccode in environment File "/home/pvalleri/src/web2py/applications/vtraffic/models/db.py" <http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/edit/vtraffic/models/db.py>, line 98, in <module> print db(db.test_sum).select(diff_date) File "/home/pvalleri/src/web2py/gluon/dal.py", line 9935, in select return adapter.select(self.query,fields,attributes) File "/home/pvalleri/src/web2py/gluon/dal.py", line 1709, in select return self._select_aux(sql,fields,attributes) File "/home/pvalleri/src/web2py/gluon/dal.py", line 1690, in _select_aux return processor(rows,fields,self._colnames,cacheable=cacheable) File "/home/pvalleri/src/web2py/gluon/dal.py", line 2093, in parse fields[j].type,blob_decode) File "/home/pvalleri/src/web2py/gluon/dal.py", line 1908, in parse_value return self.parsemap[key](value,field_type) File "/home/pvalleri/src/web2py/gluon/dal.py", line 1995, in parse_double return float(value) TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a number To some extent the interesting ticket is that, the query generated works without problems (tested with pgadmin). SELECT (test_sum.second_date - test_sum.first_date) FROM test_sum WHERE (test_sum.id IS NOT NULL); Moreover, I run the same example with sqlite, it worked well without error, the resulting values are wrong though. What can I do? Paolo -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
