Database FunctionsP

The classes documented below provide a way for users to use functions provided by the underlying database as annotations, aggregations, or filters in Django. Functions are also expressions, so they can be used and combined with other expressions like aggregate functions.

We'll be using the following model in examples of each function:

class Author(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    age = models.PositiveIntegerField(null=True, blank=True)
    alias = models.CharField(max_length=50, null=True, blank=True)
    goes_by = models.CharField(max_length=50, null=True, blank=True)

We don't usually recommend allowing null=True for CharField since this allows the field to have two "empty values", but it's important for the Coalesce example below.

Comparison and conversion functionsP

CastP

class Cast(expression, output_field)[源代码]P

Forces the result type of expression to be the one from output_field.

使用实例:

>>> from django.db.models import FloatField
>>> from django.db.models.functions import Cast
>>> Value.objects.create(integer=4)
>>> value = Value.objects.annotate(as_float=Cast('integer', FloatField())).get()
>>> print(value.as_float)
4.0

CoalesceP

class Coalesce(*expressions, **extra)[源代码]P

Accepts a list of at least two field names or expressions and returns the first non-null value (note that an empty string is not considered a null value). Each argument must be of a similar type, so mixing text and numbers will result in a database error.

Usage examples:

>>> # Get a screen name from least to most public
>>> from django.db.models import Sum, Value as V
>>> from django.db.models.functions import Coalesce
>>> Author.objects.create(name='Margaret Smith', goes_by='Maggie')
>>> author = Author.objects.annotate(
...    screen_name=Coalesce('alias', 'goes_by', 'name')).get()
>>> print(author.screen_name)
Maggie

>>> # Prevent an aggregate Sum() from returning None
>>> aggregated = Author.objects.aggregate(
...    combined_age=Coalesce(Sum('age'), V(0)),
...    combined_age_default=Sum('age'))
>>> print(aggregated['combined_age'])
0
>>> print(aggregated['combined_age_default'])
None

警告

A Python value passed to Coalesce on MySQL may be converted to an incorrect type unless explicitly cast to the correct database type:

>>> from django.db.models import DateTimeField
>>> from django.db.models.functions import Cast, Coalesce
>>> from django.utils import timezone
>>> now = timezone.now()
>>> Coalesce('updated', Cast(now, DateTimeField()))

GreatestP

class Greatest(*expressions, **extra)[源代码]P

Accepts a list of at least two field names or expressions and returns the greatest value. Each argument must be of a similar type, so mixing text and numbers will result in a database error.

使用实例:

class Blog(models.Model):
    body = models.TextField()
    modified = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

class Comment(models.Model):
    body = models.TextField()
    modified = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    blog = models.ForeignKey(Blog, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

>>> from django.db.models.functions import Greatest
>>> blog = Blog.objects.create(body='Greatest is the best.')
>>> comment = Comment.objects.create(body='No, Least is better.', blog=blog)
>>> comments = Comment.objects.annotate(last_updated=Greatest('modified', 'blog__modified'))
>>> annotated_comment = comments.get()

annotated_comment.last_updated will be the most recent of blog.modified and comment.modified.

警告

The behavior of Greatest when one or more expression may be null varies between databases:

  • PostgreSQL: Greatest will return the largest non-null expression, or null if all expressions are null.
  • SQLite, Oracle, and MySQL: If any expression is null, Greatest will return null.

The PostgreSQL behavior can be emulated using Coalesce if you know a sensible minimum value to provide as a default.

LeastP

class Least(*expressions, **extra)[源代码]P

Accepts a list of at least two field names or expressions and returns the least value. Each argument must be of a similar type, so mixing text and numbers will result in a database error.

警告

The behavior of Least when one or more expression may be null varies between databases:

  • PostgreSQL: Least will return the smallest non-null expression, or null if all expressions are null.
  • SQLite, Oracle, and MySQL: If any expression is null, Least will return null.

The PostgreSQL behavior can be emulated using Coalesce if you know a sensible maximum value to provide as a default.

NullIfP

class NullIf(expression1, expression2)[源代码]P
New in Django 2.2:

Accepts two expressions and returns None if they are equal, otherwise returns expression1.

Caveats on Oracle

Due to an Oracle convention, this function returns the empty string instead of None when the expressions are of type CharField.

Passing Value(None) to expression1 is prohibited on Oracle since Oracle doesn't accept NULL as the first argument.

Date functionsP

We'll be using the following model in examples of each function:

class Experiment(models.Model):
    start_datetime = models.DateTimeField()
    start_date = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True)
    start_time = models.TimeField(null=True, blank=True)
    end_datetime = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True)
    end_date = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True)
    end_time = models.TimeField(null=True, blank=True)

ExtractP

class Extract(expression, lookup_name=None, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P

Extracts a component of a date as a number.

Takes an expression representing a DateField, DateTimeField, TimeField, or DurationField and a lookup_name, and returns the part of the date referenced by lookup_name as an IntegerField. Django usually uses the databases' extract function, so you may use any lookup_name that your database supports. A tzinfo subclass, usually provided by pytz, can be passed to extract a value in a specific timezone.

Given the datetime 2015-06-15 23:30:01.000321+00:00, the built-in lookup_names return:

  • "year": 2015
  • "iso_year": 2015
  • "quarter": 2
  • "month": 6
  • "day": 15
  • "week": 25
  • "week_day": 2
  • "hour": 23
  • "minute": 30
  • "second": 1

If a different timezone like Australia/Melbourne is active in Django, then the datetime is converted to the timezone before the value is extracted. The timezone offset for Melbourne in the example date above is +10:00. The values returned when this timezone is active will be the same as above except for:

  • "day": 16
  • "week_day": 3
  • "hour": 9

week_day values

The week_day lookup_type is calculated differently from most databases and from Python's standard functions. This function will return 1 for Sunday, 2 for Monday, through 7 for Saturday.

The equivalent calculation in Python is:

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> dt = datetime(2015, 6, 15)
>>> (dt.isoweekday() % 7) + 1
2

week values

The week lookup_type is calculated based on ISO-8601, i.e., a week starts on a Monday. The first week of a year is the one that contains the year's first Thursday, i.e. the first week has the majority (four or more) of its days in the year. The value returned is in the range 1 to 52 or 53.

Each lookup_name above has a corresponding Extract subclass (listed below) that should typically be used instead of the more verbose equivalent, e.g. use ExtractYear(...) rather than Extract(..., lookup_name='year').

使用实例:

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> from django.db.models.functions import Extract
>>> start = datetime(2015, 6, 15)
>>> end = datetime(2015, 7, 2)
>>> Experiment.objects.create(
...    start_datetime=start, start_date=start.date(),
...    end_datetime=end, end_date=end.date())
>>> # Add the experiment start year as a field in the QuerySet.
>>> experiment = Experiment.objects.annotate(
...    start_year=Extract('start_datetime', 'year')).get()
>>> experiment.start_year
2015
>>> # How many experiments completed in the same year in which they started?
>>> Experiment.objects.filter(
...    start_datetime__year=Extract('end_datetime', 'year')).count()
1

DateField extractsP

class ExtractYear(expression, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P
lookup_name = 'year'
class ExtractIsoYear(expression, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P
New in Django 2.2:

Returns the ISO-8601 week-numbering year.

lookup_name = 'iso_year'
class ExtractMonth(expression, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P
lookup_name = 'month'
class ExtractDay(expression, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P
lookup_name = 'day'
class ExtractWeekDay(expression, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P
lookup_name = 'week_day'
class ExtractWeek(expression, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P
lookup_name = 'week'
class ExtractQuarter(expression, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P
lookup_name = 'quarter'

These are logically equivalent to Extract('date_field', lookup_name). Each class is also a Transform registered on DateField and DateTimeField as __(lookup_name), e.g. __year.

Since DateFields don't have a time component, only Extract subclasses that deal with date-parts can be used with DateField:

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> from django.utils import timezone
>>> from django.db.models.functions import (
...     ExtractDay, ExtractMonth, ExtractQuarter, ExtractWeek,
...     ExtractWeekDay, ExtractIsoYear, ExtractYear,
... )
>>> start_2015 = datetime(2015, 6, 15, 23, 30, 1, tzinfo=timezone.utc)
>>> end_2015 = datetime(2015, 6, 16, 13, 11, 27, tzinfo=timezone.utc)
>>> Experiment.objects.create(
...    start_datetime=start_2015, start_date=start_2015.date(),
...    end_datetime=end_2015, end_date=end_2015.date())
>>> Experiment.objects.annotate(
...     year=ExtractYear('start_date'),
...     isoyear=ExtractIsoYear('start_date'),
...     quarter=ExtractQuarter('start_date'),
...     month=ExtractMonth('start_date'),
...     week=ExtractWeek('start_date'),
...     day=ExtractDay('start_date'),
...     weekday=ExtractWeekDay('start_date'),
... ).values('year', 'isoyear', 'quarter', 'month', 'week', 'day', 'weekday').get(
...     end_date__year=ExtractYear('start_date'),
... )
{'year': 2015, 'isoyear': 2015, 'quarter': 2, 'month': 6, 'week': 25,
 'day': 15, 'weekday': 2}

DateTimeField extractsP

In addition to the following, all extracts for DateField listed above may also be used on DateTimeFields .

class ExtractHour(expression, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P
lookup_name = 'hour'
class ExtractMinute(expression, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P
lookup_name = 'minute'
class ExtractSecond(expression, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P
lookup_name = 'second'

These are logically equivalent to Extract('datetime_field', lookup_name). Each class is also a Transform registered on DateTimeField as __(lookup_name), e.g. __minute.

DateTimeField examples:

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> from django.utils import timezone
>>> from django.db.models.functions import (
...     ExtractDay, ExtractHour, ExtractMinute, ExtractMonth,
...     ExtractQuarter, ExtractSecond, ExtractWeek, ExtractWeekDay,
...     ExtractYear,
... )
>>> start_2015 = datetime(2015, 6, 15, 23, 30, 1, tzinfo=timezone.utc)
>>> end_2015 = datetime(2015, 6, 16, 13, 11, 27, tzinfo=timezone.utc)
>>> Experiment.objects.create(
...    start_datetime=start_2015, start_date=start_2015.date(),
...    end_datetime=end_2015, end_date=end_2015.date())
>>> Experiment.objects.annotate(
...     year=ExtractYear('start_datetime'),
...     isoyear=ExtractIsoYear('start_datetime'),
...     quarter=ExtractQuarter('start_datetime'),
...     month=ExtractMonth('start_datetime'),
...     week=ExtractWeek('start_datetime'),
...     day=ExtractDay('start_datetime'),
...     weekday=ExtractWeekDay('start_datetime'),
...     hour=ExtractHour('start_datetime'),
...     minute=ExtractMinute('start_datetime'),
...     second=ExtractSecond('start_datetime'),
... ).values(
...     'year', 'isoyear', 'month', 'week', 'day',
...     'weekday', 'hour', 'minute', 'second',
... ).get(end_datetime__year=ExtractYear('start_datetime'))
{'year': 2015, 'isoyear': 2015, 'quarter': 2, 'month': 6, 'week': 25,
 'day': 15, 'weekday': 2, 'hour': 23, 'minute': 30, 'second': 1}

When USE_TZ is True then datetimes are stored in the database in UTC. If a different timezone is active in Django, the datetime is converted to that timezone before the value is extracted. The example below converts to the Melbourne timezone (UTC +10:00), which changes the day, weekday, and hour values that are returned:

>>> import pytz
>>> melb = pytz.timezone('Australia/Melbourne')  # UTC+10:00
>>> with timezone.override(melb):
...    Experiment.objects.annotate(
...        day=ExtractDay('start_datetime'),
...        weekday=ExtractWeekDay('start_datetime'),
...        hour=ExtractHour('start_datetime'),
...    ).values('day', 'weekday', 'hour').get(
...        end_datetime__year=ExtractYear('start_datetime'),
...    )
{'day': 16, 'weekday': 3, 'hour': 9}

Explicitly passing the timezone to the Extract function behaves in the same way, and takes priority over an active timezone:

>>> import pytz
>>> melb = pytz.timezone('Australia/Melbourne')
>>> Experiment.objects.annotate(
...     day=ExtractDay('start_datetime', tzinfo=melb),
...     weekday=ExtractWeekDay('start_datetime', tzinfo=melb),
...     hour=ExtractHour('start_datetime', tzinfo=melb),
... ).values('day', 'weekday', 'hour').get(
...     end_datetime__year=ExtractYear('start_datetime'),
... )
{'day': 16, 'weekday': 3, 'hour': 9}

NowP

class Now[源代码]P

Returns the database server's current date and time when the query is executed, typically using the SQL CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.

使用实例:

>>> from django.db.models.functions import Now
>>> Article.objects.filter(published__lte=Now())
<QuerySet [<Article: How to Django>]>

PostgreSQL considerations

On PostgreSQL, the SQL CURRENT_TIMESTAMP returns the time that the current transaction started. Therefore for cross-database compatibility, Now() uses STATEMENT_TIMESTAMP instead. If you need the transaction timestamp, use django.contrib.postgres.functions.TransactionNow.

TruncP

class Trunc(expression, kind, output_field=None, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P

Truncates a date up to a significant component.

When you only care if something happened in a particular year, hour, or day, but not the exact second, then Trunc (and its subclasses) can be useful to filter or aggregate your data. For example, you can use Trunc to calculate the number of sales per day.

Trunc takes a single expression, representing a DateField, TimeField, or DateTimeField, a kind representing a date or time part, and an output_field that's either DateTimeField(), TimeField(), or DateField(). It returns a datetime, date, or time depending on output_field, with fields up to kind set to their minimum value. If output_field is omitted, it will default to the output_field of expression. A tzinfo subclass, usually provided by pytz, can be passed to truncate a value in a specific timezone.

Given the datetime 2015-06-15 14:30:50.000321+00:00, the built-in kinds return:

  • "year": 2015-01-01 00:00:00+00:00
  • "quarter": 2015-04-01 00:00:00+00:00
  • "month": 2015-06-01 00:00:00+00:00
  • "week": 2015-06-15 00:00:00+00:00
  • "day": 2015-06-15 00:00:00+00:00
  • "hour": 2015-06-15 14:00:00+00:00
  • "minute": 2015-06-15 14:30:00+00:00
  • "second": 2015-06-15 14:30:50+00:00

If a different timezone like Australia/Melbourne is active in Django, then the datetime is converted to the new timezone before the value is truncated. The timezone offset for Melbourne in the example date above is +10:00. The values returned when this timezone is active will be:

  • "year": 2015-01-01 00:00:00+11:00
  • "quarter": 2015-04-01 00:00:00+10:00
  • "month": 2015-06-01 00:00:00+10:00
  • "week": 2015-06-16 00:00:00+10:00
  • "day": 2015-06-16 00:00:00+10:00
  • "hour": 2015-06-16 00:00:00+10:00
  • "minute": 2015-06-16 00:30:00+10:00
  • "second": 2015-06-16 00:30:50+10:00

The year has an offset of +11:00 because the result transitioned into daylight saving time.

Each kind above has a corresponding Trunc subclass (listed below) that should typically be used instead of the more verbose equivalent, e.g. use TruncYear(...) rather than Trunc(..., kind='year').

The subclasses are all defined as transforms, but they aren't registered with any fields, because the obvious lookup names are already reserved by the Extract subclasses.

使用实例:

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> from django.db.models import Count, DateTimeField

DateField truncationP

class TruncYear(expression, output_field=None, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P
kind = 'year'
class TruncMonth(expression, output_field=None, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P
kind = 'month'
class TruncWeek(expression, output_field=None, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P
New in Django 2.1:

Truncates to midnight on the Monday of the week.

kind = 'week'
class TruncQuarter(expression, output_field=None, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P
kind = 'quarter'

These are logically equivalent to Trunc('date_field', kind). They truncate all parts of the date up to kind which allows grouping or filtering dates with less precision. expression can have an output_field of either DateField or DateTimeField.

Since DateFields don't have a time component, only Trunc subclasses that deal with date-parts can be used with DateField:

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> from django.db.models import Count
>>> from django.db.models.functions import TruncMonth, TruncYear
>>> from django.utils import timezone
>>> start1 = datetime(2014, 6, 15, 14, 30, 50, 321, tzinfo=timezone.utc)

DateTimeField truncationP

class TruncDate(expression, **extra)[源代码]P
lookup_name = 'date'
output_field = DateField()

TruncDate casts expression to a date rather than using the built-in SQL truncate function. It's also registered as a transform on DateTimeField as __date.

class TruncTime(expression, **extra)[源代码]P
lookup_name = 'time'
output_field = TimeField()

TruncTime casts expression to a time rather than using the built-in SQL truncate function. It's also registered as a transform on DateTimeField as __time.

class TruncDay(expression, output_field=None, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P
kind = 'day'
class TruncHour(expression, output_field=None, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P
kind = 'hour'
class TruncMinute(expression, output_field=None, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P
kind = 'minute'
class TruncSecond(expression, output_field=None, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]P
kind = 'second'

These are logically equivalent to Trunc('datetime_field', kind). They truncate all parts of the date up to kind and allow grouping or filtering datetimes with less precision. expression must have an output_field of DateTimeField.

使用实例:

>>> from datetime import date, datetime

}

TimeField truncationP

class TruncHour(expression, output_field=None, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]
kind = 'hour'
class TruncMinute(expression, output_field=None, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]
kind = 'minute'
class TruncSecond(expression, output_field=None, tzinfo=None, **extra)[源代码]
kind = 'second'

These are logically equivalent to Trunc('time_field', kind). They truncate all parts of the time up to kind which allows grouping or filtering times with less precision. expression can have an output_field of either TimeField or DateTimeField.

Since TimeFields don't have a date component, only Trunc subclasses that deal with time-parts can be used with TimeField:

Math FunctionsP

New in Django 2.2:

We'll be using the following model in math function examples:

Window functionsP

There are a number of functions to use in a Window expression for computing the rank of elements or the Ntile of some rows.

CumeDistP

class CumeDist(*expressions, **extra)[源代码]P

Calculates the cumulative distribution of a value within a window or partition. The cumulative distribution is defined as the number of rows preceding or peered with the current row divided by the total number of rows in the frame.

DenseRankP

class DenseRank(*expressions, **extra)[源代码]P

Equivalent to Rank but does not have gaps.

FirstValueP

class FirstValue(expression, **extra)[源代码]P

Returns the value evaluated at the row that's the first row of the window frame, or None if no such value exists.

LagP

class Lag(expression, offset=1, default=None, **extra)[源代码]P

Calculates the value offset by offset, and if no row exists there, returns default.

default must have the same type as the expression, however, this is only validated by the database and not in Python.

MariaDB and default

MariaDB doesn't support the default parameter.

LastValueP

class LastValue(expression, **extra)[源代码]P

Comparable to FirstValue, it calculates the last value in a given frame clause.

LeadP

class Lead(expression, offset=1, default=None, **extra)[源代码]P

Calculates the leading value in a given frame. Both offset and default are evaluated with respect to the current row.

default must have the same type as the expression, however, this is only validated by the database and not in Python.

MariaDB and default

MariaDB doesn't support the default parameter.

NthValueP

class NthValue(expression, nth=1, **extra)[源代码]P

Computes the row relative to the offset nth (must be a positive value) within the window. Returns None if no row exists.

Some databases may handle a nonexistent nth-value differently. For example, Oracle returns an empty string rather than None for character-based expressions. Django doesn't do any conversions in these cases.

NtileP

class Ntile(num_buckets=1, **extra)[源代码]P

Calculates a partition for each of the rows in the frame clause, distributing numbers as evenly as possible between 1 and num_buckets. If the rows don't divide evenly into a number of buckets, one or more buckets will be represented more frequently.

PercentRankP

class PercentRank(*expressions, **extra)[源代码]P

Computes the percentile rank of the rows in the frame clause. This computation is equivalent to evaluating:

(rank - 1) / (total rows - 1)

The following table explains the calculation for the percentile rank of a row:

Row # Value Rank Calculation Percent Rank
1 15 1 (1-1)/(7-1) 0.0000
2 20 2 (2-1)/(7-1) 0.1666
3 20 2 (2-1)/(7-1) 0.1666
4 20 2 (2-1)/(7-1) 0.1666
5 30 5 (5-1)/(7-1) 0.6666
6 30 5 (5-1)/(7-1) 0.6666
7 40 7 (7-1)/(7-1) 1.0000

RankP

class Rank(*expressions, **extra)[源代码]P

Comparable to RowNumber, this function ranks rows in the window. The computed rank contains gaps. Use DenseRank to compute rank without gaps.

RowNumberP

class RowNumber(*expressions, **extra)[源代码]P

Computes the row number according to the ordering of either the frame clause or the ordering of the whole query if there is no partitioning of the window frame.
