I have a project running in a manufacturing industry that is actually built upon django. In this I need to generate a unique serial, batch or lot number (depending on what you would like to call it) that is a running number from 0 to whathever for each and every day. There is a high risk of concurrency so just finding the previous max and then do a +1 before saving is not what I want. The important part of the model looks like this...
class ProducedEntity(models.Model): .... production_date = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True) lot_no = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=0) class Meta: unique_together = ('production_date', 'lot_no') Of course I could just save it and see if the .save() call works without generating a IntegrityError but that's not elegant. Is there a way of generating that number per day in a way that it's done when I save the model? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
