django-database-view
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
A simple pluggable application that allows to work with database views.
|
|
|
|
So far only MySQL is supported as backend, but more could be added if necessary.
|
|
|
|
Quick start
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
1. Add "dbview" to your INSTALLED_APPS settings like this::
|
|
|
|
INSTALLED_APPS = (
|
|
...
|
|
'dbview',
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. In your models.py create classes which extend dbview.models.DbView
|
|
like this::
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
from dbview.models import DbView
|
|
|
|
class MyView(DbView):
|
|
fieldA = models.OneToOneField(modelA, primary_key=True, db_column='fielda__id')
|
|
fieldB = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True, db_column='fieldb')
|
|
|
|
@classmethod
|
|
dev view(klass):
|
|
'''
|
|
This method returns the SQL string that creates the view, in this
|
|
example fieldB is the result of annotating another column
|
|
'''
|
|
qs = modelA.objects.all().\
|
|
annotate(fieldb=models.Sum('fieldc')) .\
|
|
annotate(fielda__id=models.F('pk')) .\
|
|
order_by('fielda__id') .\
|
|
values('fielda__id', 'fieldb')
|
|
return str(qs.query)
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Then create a migration point for your view generation, edit that migration
|
|
and modify it, add: `from dbview.helpers import CreateView` and replace the line
|
|
the call to migrations.CreateModel with CreateView.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Migrate your database and start using your database views.
