Hi, I have built my models and so forth, but I have the need to check whether the user requesting an instance or set of instances from the database has permission to do so.
For this I have a stored procedure (saved procedure) in the database that when I give it a user id, it then returns the item if I am allowed it. Its a stored procedure because its not possible to do it in a SELECT, it potentially would open up a lot of database requests if I wanted to do it straight from the App server. I want to use this in Django, and I thought about using a Manager on the model like so: class MediaItemManager(models.Manager): def get_perm(self, *args, **kwargs): from django.db import connection cursor = connection.cursor() cursor.execute(""" SELECT * FROM permfindernew(2, 132); """) row = cursor.fetchone() return row Problem comes in that although I return what I want (I will replace 2, 132 with the correct args when I am done), its not in a format of a queryset or anything else that I can see how I can use. Another way I could do this is to get the stored procedure to give me back a true/false and then do another query if I have got true back. This only hits the database twice, but I would like to just return a row if possible. Is there a way to turn what I get back from the database into something I can then use in a template: (132, u'Tsunami_by_hokusai_19th_century.jpg', u'Tsunami_by_hokusai_19th_century.jpg', u'', u'', datetime.datetime(2009, 2, 17, 16, 54, 38, 892350), None, u'image-jpg', u'c4a6afe0a71e3632', 3, u'[]', 5, False, False, False, True, True, 1, u'', 1, None, False, 1, "'19th':4,9 'hokusai':3,8 'tsunami':1,6 'century.jpg':5,10") Thanks, Tim. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
