Question

In one of my Django application I have an object with both a date and a time attribute, and i don’t wish to use a datetime single attribute.

For the sake of example let’s call this object “Meeting”:

class Meeting(models.Model):
    publication_date = models.DateField()
    publication_time = models.TimeField()

Now I would like to get all the Meetings in the future given the current time

I am currently using this query:

Meeting.objects.filter(publication_date__gte=datetime.date.today()).exclude(publication_date=
datetime.date.today(),
publication_time__lt =
datetime.datetime.now()).order_by(‘publication_date’,
‘publication_time’)

But I feel like there might be a more efficient way

Answer 1

Nope that would be the correct way to do it given the constraint of not using a datetime field. Why you don’t want to use a datetime field I don’t know.
