Re: Problem updating data

Instead of counting the inactive, try counting the active ones. If that count doesn't go up by one, I'd suspect something's dodgy in your Entry model's save() that means it doesn't write successfully to the db.

You could debug by doing:

from django.db import connection

connection.queries

e1.save()

connection.queries

to see what the SQL generated was.

Then start looking at your database to see what it's doing.

No, that's not the problem. Even if I redo the query now, I still get
the same count (see below). And, like I said, the change does not show
up in the admin either -- THE VALUE HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED.

This behavior is so unexpected I'm not sure how to even begin trouble-
shooting it.

PS -- What's wrong with querying by "active=0"? I did it that way
because that's what the admin interface does for filters... is there
any difference?


NEW SHELL SESSION FROM TODAY, TESTING SAME THING:

>>> from dictionary.models import Entry

>>> entries = Entry.objects.filter(active=False)

>>> entries.count()
3642
>>> e1 = entries[0]
>>> e1
<Entry: إبّاخ>
>>> e1.active
False
