I have an incoming list of DB table names associated with my application. I want to iterate through this list of table names getting all of the entries for each table and then print some data from each tables' entry to a file. I've tried to write this so I can use it for as many app-associated tables as possible.
My problem is since the logic won't know which tables will be in the incoming list I need to try to reference the entries in each table using some kind of evaluated version of a variable containing the name of each table, as I iterate through the list. I'm sure I could do this using an "eval" statement like this tblComannd = "tblEntryLst = " + str(tableName) + ".objects.all()" eval(tblComannd) but I also know that the "eval" statement is not the safest thing to use. So far I've tried to reference the table name in the following ways: tblEntryLst = str(tableName).objects.all() tblEntryLst = tableName.objects.all() with no success at all and only an AttributeError exception being the result. I think its possible since I've successfully done some similar things with referencing and saving the values of unknown keys for dictionaries similar to this: new_dictionary[str(extracted_key)] = old_dictionary[str(extracted_key)] but don't know this for sure. Can someone please confirm if this is indeed possible to do or not, and if so give a general format or example for how to do it? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
