I recently upgraded to the most recent version of sqlalchemy and some of my code no longer works. I'm having difficulty finding how to fix it and could use a hand.
Previously the query appeared as so.
self.db.query(Drive).filter(Drive.package_id==package.package_id)\
.filter(Drive.wipe_end!=None).sum(Drive.wipe_end - Drive.wipe_start)
this worked before to retrieve the sum of some durations but now I get the following error:
'Query' object has no attribute 'sum'
Any googling I do gets me information that is several years old.
I believe you need the sum() function in the "func" package:
from sqlalchemy import func
cursor = self.db.query(func.sum(Drive.wipe_end - Drive.wipe_start)).filter(Drive.package_id==package.package_id).filter(Drive.wipe_end!=None)
total = cursor.scalar()
In SQLAlchemy 1.1.13 (released 3 August 2017), the syntax for using sum()
is this:
from sqlalchemy import func
from apps.mystuff.models import MyModel
some_value = "hello"
result = MyModel.query.with_entities(
func.sum(MyModel.MyColumn).label("mySum")
).filter_by(
MyValue=some_value
).first()
# Depending on the column datatype, it's either int:
print(result.mySum)
# Or if the data is decimal/float:
print(float(result.mySum))
The main difference compared to the original answer is that instead of:
query(func.sum())
The syntax has changed to this starting from version 0.6.5:
query.with_entities(func.sum())
