Question

How to use and clause in Django

For ex:

    select Date(timestamp) from userlog where (Date(timestamp) >= "2008-01-02" and Date(timestamp) <= "2009-01-02") and ipaddress != "192.168.2.211";


  Django query:

     userlog.objects.filter(timestamp__range=(startdate,enddate),ipaddress !="192.168.2.211")

In the above there is an error saying non-keyword arg afterkeyword arg and the error is in the above line

ipaddress is a char field,Am i constructing the query wrong if so how this should be resolved

Answer 1

userlog.objects.filter(timestamp__range=(startdate,enddate),ipaddress !="192.168.2.211")

The use of != is not correct in Django (or indeed, not in Python). In order to exclude all records with ipaddress matching a certain value you should use the exclude() mechanism.

userlog.objects.filter(timestamp__range=(startdate,enddate)).exclude(ipaddress = 
        "192.168.2.211")
