Question

I have a model:

class mymodel(models.Model):
    order_closed = models.BooleanField(default=False)

I added this field to my development mysqllite db manually since its a new field for a model/table that already existed. I then tried:

mymodel.objects.filter(order_closed=False) #and with True

and its producing incorrect or unpredictable results. I saw some mention that is could be a sqllite thing but I’m not sure? The templates seem to understand whether its a true or false value but python code doesn’t. To clarify with some examples:

{{mymodel.order_closed}} will print 0 after I set the default to 0 in sqllite. but using .filter(order_closed=value) will still return every record.

Answer 1

I think you make some mistake in wrirting SQL . If you have db which have some important informations use

south

http://south.aeracode.org/

When you will have it you can easly upgrate/edit your database .

If you dont wanna install new ‘plugins’ try that .
1. Delete this field from DB manualy .
2. write : python manage.py sql ‘name of app’

It will return the CREATE TABLE SQL statements for the app.

Then you can upr your database manualy with some of CReate command.
