This works perfect in SQLite: rows = db(query).select(db.cart_sharing.created_by.with_alias('sharer'), db.cart_sharing.stats.count().with_alias('carts' ), db.cart_sharing.stats.sum().with_alias('shares'), groupby=db.cart_sharing.created_by, orderby=['~shares'])
'shares' is alias to sum(), and sqlite understands exactly what's needed - sorts by the number of shares. Posgres doesn't like it: <class 'psycopg2.ProgrammingError'> column "shares" does not exist LINE 1: ...NULL) GROUP BY "cart_sharing"."created_by" ORDER BY ~shares; ^ What's the proper DAL syntax for such a thing compatible with Postgres? -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
