hi i am using django app engine patch i have set up a simple model as follows
class Intake(db.Model):
intake=db.StringProperty(multiline=False, required=True)
#@permerlink
def get_absolute_url(self):
return "/timekeeper/%s/" % self.intake
class Meta:
db_table = "Intake"
verbose_name_plural = "Intakes"
ordering = ['intake']
i am using the following views to check if some thing exist in data base and add to database
from ragendja.template import render_to_response
from django.http import HttpResponse, Http404
from google.appengine.ext import db
from timekeeper.forms import *
from timekeeper.models import *
def checkintake(request, key):
intake = Intake.all().filter('intake=',key).count()
if intake<1:
return HttpResponse('ok')
else:
return HttpResponse('Exist in database')
def addintake(request,key):
if Intake.all().filter('intake=',key).count()>1:
return HttpResponse('Item already Exist in Database')
else:
data = Intake(intake=cleaned_data[key])
data.put()
return HttpResponse('Ok')
i can add to database with no problem (when i do a Intake.all().count()
it increases) but when i check if the key exist in the database by filtering i am getting a count of zero any one have any idea why i am not able to filter by keys ?
