Hi
Advertisements can be published in different magazines. I represent
this with the following tables:
db.define_table("magazine",
SQLField("owner",db.auth_user, writable=False, readable=False))
db.define_table("advertisement",
SQLField("owner",db.auth_user,writable=False, readable=False),
SQLField("description", "text", notnull=True, label = T
("Description"),
SQLField("mag_id", db.magazine,writable=False, readable=False))
db.define_table("published",
SQLField("advertisement_id", db.advertisement),
SQLField("mag_id", db.magazine),
SQLField("url", "string",length=2048, notnull=True,
default=None))
What I need is a query that, given a user, for each of his
advertisement gives me the magazines it is printed on.
Since on GAE I cannot have joins I simulated this by doing the
following:
query = (db.advertisement.id>0)&(db.advertisement.owner ==
auth.user.id)
links = db(query).select(orderby=db.advertisement.posted_on)
# links now contains all the advertisements for the logged-in user
for b in links:
query=(db.published.id>0) & (db.published.advertisement_id ==
b.id)
res = db(query).select()
for a in res:
print a.mag_id # prints the id of the magazine the
advertisement is published in
Is there a better way of doing this in GAE? Performance is one of my
main concerns here.
thanks
