Answer 1

Suppose you have a Model that looks like this:

class Employee(db.Model):
    name = db.StringProperty()

You can query the existence of a particular value and/or the total number of entities which have that value in a property, you can query like so:

def jack_chan_in_employee():
    query = Employee.all()
    count = query.filter('name =', 'Jacky Chan').count()
    return count
