Django filter between two date

Question

My django model datetime field is string. In this case, how to get data between two dates?

models.py

class asdf(models.Model):
     recordDate = models.CharField(max_length=20,blank=True)

Answer 1

Change the 'recordDate' to DateField and use the following query:

asdf.objects.filter(recordDate__gte='2019-03-01', recordDate__lte='2019-03-09')

Answer 2

In order to get between range use filter this query:

models.asdf.objects.filter(recordDate__gte='start_date', recordDate__lt='end_date')

start_date and end_date may be string in date formats or datetime parsed object.
