Yeah, the ORM didn't work out as i thought for this. I have written
this raw query with a model. Alot less code compared to as before.
class itemSearch(models.Model): typeID =
models.SmallIntegerField(primary_key = True) typeName =
models.CharField(max_length = 200)
item_search_results = itemSearch.objects.raw(
'''SELECT * FROM invTypes WHERE invTypes.typeName LIKE '%s%'
LIMIT 0, 10''', [search_query]
).using(
'DataDump'
)
for name in item_search_results:
results.append(name.typeName)
I get this error. "not enough arguments for format string", which im
guessing the LIKE isnt working because this query works.
item_search_results = itemSearch.objects.raw(
'''SELECT * FROM invTypes LIMIT 0, 10'''
).using(
'DataDump'
)
for name in item_search_results:
results.append(name.typeName)
I have no idea what could be wrong in the query or the model. Any help?
