Hi All, I am using "django_restapi" (http://code.google.com/p/django-rest- interface/) to quickly gain access in a RESTful way to some tables in a legacy database. I am only really interested in reading the records and sending them back in XML or JSON format. I don't need to create, update or delete any records.
So far "django_restapi" works great for the simple case of accessing individual models. But as soon as I try to do anything more useful I get stuck. I have an old Perl script which accesses the same legacy database and using a custom SQL query returns a bunch of records. I would like to add a new model to my RESTful Django app which would perform the equivalent query. I don't want to do it in a view because then I will have to write all that boiler-plate code that's already in "django_restapi", such as handling errors, returning correctly formatted and serialised query sets etc. I want to write a dynamic model which doesn't correspond to any real table and plug it straight into "django_restapi". The dynamic nature of this model would come from the fact that it has to dynamically compute query sets using custom SQL statements. I don't seem to be able to find anything relevant to this problem anywhere. Surely it must be a frequently encountered problem. I would appreciate any help I can get with this. cheers, -tomek --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
