In another thread I wrote the following in regards to how to get the average for a field: > Could we educate ourselves on how other frameworks are solving this same > problem and maybe that will lead us to a solution?
A quick look at ActiveRecord brings up ActiveRecord::Calculations: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Calculations/ClassMethods.html I kind of like how the more common aggregate calculations are there: * count * max * min * sum * average Django already has: Entry.objects.count() Could Django also provide these? * Entry.objects.min('field') * Entry.objects.max('field') * Entry.objects.sum('field') * Entry.objects.average('field') And a way to group? * Entry.objects.max('age').group_by('last_name') And if you do group by it's probably a good idea to add HAVING somehow. I think for those who need aggregate data these would cover a lot of ground. I'd be willing to work on a patch if this is considered generally useful and we can work out what the API should look like. -Rob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
