Re: Using Sum() for a models method inside a Query

Thanks, the best bet is the raw query, because I actually need the Sum of the method result for all the instances in the query...

You can create a model method (with no parameter) that can solve that, so you can call it from the templates.

something like:

class MyObject(models.Model):

    a = models.IntegerField()

    b = models.Integerfield()

    

    def miOperation(self):

        return self.a + self.b

    

    def miOtherOpertion(self):

        return self.a * self.b

Short answer: you can't. A raw query would be your best bet(i.e. "SELECT SUM(a + b) AS sum FROM app_X")

Hello everyone,

Well, the tittle says it all:

I have a model X

class X(models.Model)

    a = models.IntegerField()

    b = models.IntegerField()

def getC(self):

    return a + b

So, when I'm inside a template I can call {{x.getC}} and it gets the method for the current instance it's in, but how can I get the Sum, or Avg of that method? I tried doing Sum('getC') but I get the error because getC isn't callable in the query...

Thanks in advance for the help
