django-storedqueries
====================
:author: Keryn Knight
:version: 0.1.4
A small package for `Django`_ to ease the creation of database temporary tables.
It doesn't need to be in your ``INSTALLED_APPS``
Usage
-----
Define a mostly normal Django model, like so::
from django.db import models
class MyCoolModel(models.Model):
value = models.PositiveIntegerField(primary_key=True)
class Meta:
abstract = True
managed = False
Pay special attention to the ``Meta`` attributes. It'll complain otherwise.
Provide a definition for the temporary table somewhere::
from storedqueries import TemporaryTable
class MyTemporaryTable(TemporaryTable):
model = MyCoolModel
queryset = Somedata.objects.order_by('?').annotate(value=models.F('key_name')).values_list('value').iterator()
Make use of the temporary table::
from django.http import JsonResponse
def myview(request, *args, **kwargs):
with MyTemporaryTable() as TemporaryModel:
keys = TemporaryModel.objects.all()
data = tuple(Somedata.objects.filter(key_name__in=keys))
return JsonResponse({'values': data})
Using the ``with my_cls() as thing:`` syntax will create a uniquely named
temporary table using the ``queryset`` connection and data to fill it,
when the ``with`` scope closes, the temporary table is dropped. The
``TemporaryModel`` variable will be a **subclass** of ``MyCoolModel`` bound to
the unique name for the temporary table.
If you have a query which cannot be defined at module scope, you can do::
class MyTemporaryTable(TemporaryTable):
model = MyCoolModel
def source_queryset(self):
return Somedata.objects.filter(created__lte=timezone.now()).annotate(value=models.F('key_name')).values_list('value').iterator()
If you **still** cannot get the query correct, because it has a dependency
on something like ``request.user`` etc, you can do::
def myview(request, *args, **kwargs):
qs = Somedata.objects.filter(user=request.user.pk)
with MyTemporaryTable(queryset=qs) as TemporaryModel:
raise NotImplementedError("Dynamic queryset binding")
or probably even::
def myview(request, *args, **kwargs):
qs = Somedata.objects.filter(user=request.user.pk)
with TemporaryTable(model=MyCoolModel, queryset=qs) as TemporaryModel:
raise NotImplementedError("Dynamic model AND queryset binding")

Change history for django-storedqueries
-------------------------------------------------------------
0.1.4
^^^^^^
* Changed the ``open`` and ``close`` methods of ``TemporaryTableEditor`` to avoid using the cursor as a context manager for greater compatibility (ie: I have an old internal project where this could be useful)
0.1.3
^^^^^^
* Raise an exception at runtime if the temporary model being passed in delares ``ForeignKey`` etc without setting ``related_name="+"`` for each.
* Add functionality for MySQL to detect if it can use the ``MEMORY`` engine.
0.1.2
^^^^^^
* Initial release
