Dear list, Apologies in advance if this is a FAQ. I did extensive searching through this list and the django docs but have not been able to find a solution.
I'm trying to display data from a postgres backend into a HTML table. Most of this data comes from a single table. Some columns however come from a highly complex raw SQL query that is very CPU-expensive to run. The two datasets cannot be combined into a single model for performance reasons. Both models do however have an identical unique field . As templates cannot do lookups into a dictionary or DB object, I now resort to doing a nested 'for' loop, where the template cycles through the whole dataset of model 1 for every record of model 2. Then if the unique field obtained from model 2 is found in model 1, the other valeus from model 1 are displayed. Below is the current code I use. This sounds hopelessly inefficient. Would someone be able to point me to a method to make this more logical? Many thanks Joris {% for GROUP in GROUPS %} <tr> <td>{{ GROUP.grnummer}}</td> {% for FIN in FINISH %} {% if FIN.grnummer = GROUP.grnummer %}<td>{{FIN.synthesis_finish}}</td>{% endif %} {% endfor %} </tr> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
