I am trying to select from the join of the two related tables in DJango as shown below. But I am not able get the field name
of the other table.
In SQL we can write:
select person.phonenumber,membership.* from membership where person=name ;
This displays all the membership
fields along with phonenumber
, but in Django it throws error:
Cannot resolve keyword 'phonenumber' into field
I have even tried with select_related
but no use. Am I doing anything wrong?
model.py:
from django.db import models
# Create your models here.
class Person(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(primary_key=True,max_length=128)
phonenumber = models.CharField(max_length=128)
city = models.CharField(max_length=128)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
class Membership(models.Model):
person = models.ForeignKey(Person)
date_joined = models.DateField()
invite_reason = models.CharField(max_length=64)
>>> print m.query
SELECT `myapp_membership`.`id`, `myapp_membership`.`person_id`, `myapp_membership`.`date_joined`, `myapp_membership`.`invite_reason` FROM `myapp_membership` WHERE `myapp_membership`.`person_id` = x
>>> m=Membership.objects.filter(person__name='x').select_related()
>>> print m.query
SELECT `myapp_membership`.`id`, `myapp_membership`.`person_id`, `myapp_membership`.`date_joined`, `myapp_membership`.`invite_reason`, `myapp_person`.`name`, `myapp_person`.`phonenumber`, `myapp_person`.`city` FROM `myapp_membership` INNER JOIN `myapp_person` ON (`myapp_membership`.`person_id` = `myapp_person`.`name`) WHERE `myapp_membership`.`person_id` = x
>>> m=Membership.objects.filter(person__name='x').values('person','phonenumber').select_related()

select_related() “follows” foreign-key relationships, selecting additional related-object data when it executes its query. prefetch_related() does a separate lookup for each relationship and does the “joining” in Python.
phonenumber
is a field on person
, so you need to pass in person__phonenumber
m=Membership.objects.filter(person__name='x').values('person','person__phonenumber').
Also if you want a queryset (so not to use values) you can do this:
m=Membership.objects.filter(person__name="x").select_related('person', depth=1)
Sadly I do not know how to only get one field from that table and still get a queryset.
