Question

I have a table with a DataTimeField. I’d like to get a list of all the objects where the DateTimeField = a specific day (ignoring the time part).

The SQL would look something like:

select * from tblname where date(start)='2011-01-14'

Is it possible to get the ORM to do this kind of query?

I can do a start__range(…) kind of query, but I was wondering if I could do it the other way.

From the QuerySet API reference:

Entry.objects.filter(pub_date__year=2005)
Entry.objects.filter(pub_date__month=12)
Entry.objects.filter(pub_date__day=6)

This works for Dates and DateTimes.
