No. We'll fix it tomorrow

Another thing I noticed is that the 'Max length' property does not work

Doesn't work in Pony or designer?

Hi, any thoughts on Pony implementing BETWEEN for postgres?

I realise that it is the save as a >= x AND a <= y, that is not in pony either though

It actually looks easy to implement, I mean between(a, x, y). I agree it may be convenient, I'll try to add it the other day

it looks like it exists in sqlite and mysql as well

there is also NOT BETWEEN

X in range(13, 15) would be Pythonic

wouldn't that turn into an IN (13, 14) SQL currently?

btw this is also useful for dates / datetimes as well as numbers

wouldn't that turn into an IN (13, 14) SQL currently?

I have no idea, just adding my two cents

select(u for u in User if u.id in range(1, 10))[ : ]

turns into

... FROM "user" "u" WHERE "u"."id" IN (%(p1)s, %(p2)s, %(p3)s, %(p4)s, %(p5)s, %(p6)s, %(p7)s, %(p8)s, %(p9)s) {'p1':1, 'p2':2, 'p3':3, 'p4':4, 'p5':5, 'p6':6, 'p7':7, 'p8':8, 'p9':9}

Theoretically it is possible to translate range(i, j) to BETWEEN too. But I'm not sure we need, because range is limited - its arguments should be integers. I think it is better to add between function to pony.utils and learn pony to translate it to SQL.

I added between and pushed to GitHub: from pony.orm.examples.university1 import * select(s for s in Student if between(s.gpa, 3.5, 4.5))[:] select(s for s in Student if not between(s.gpa, 3.5, 4.5))[:]

Cool! Will it work with dates / datetimes?

I think yes. It should work with any types for which you can use SQL BETWEEN expression

and is "not between" implicitly supported?

yes

+def between(a, x, y): + return a <= x <= y +

Does that mean that select(z for z in Z in z.a <= x <= z.y) will work with Pony?

At this moment - no, we need to add support to decompiler, it is a bit untrivial. The body of between function is not used during translation, it just to be able to use it in Python

ah ok

SQLite: >>> select(s for s in Student if not between(s.dob, date(1995, 1, 1), date(1998, 1, 1)))[:] SELECT "s"."id", "s"."name", "s"."dob", "s"."tel", "s"."gpa", "s"."group" FROM "Student" "s" WHERE "s"."dob" NOT BETWEEN '1995-01-01' AND '1998-01-01' [Student[1], Student[2], Student[3], Student[4], Student[5], Student[6], Student[7]] >>>

Cool :)

Pony is becoming very solid now

in terms of features and reliability

I plan to work on Pony until New year and add many missing features - migrations, upserts, etc.

How could an upsert look in Pony?

obj = MyObject.create_or_update(foo=1, bar=2) and parent_object.some_collection.create_or_update(foo=1, bar=2)

Cool, I often do x = X.get(foo=1) or X(foo=1) (or kwargs passed to both), but I imagine upsert would be better

The main benefit of upsert is atomicity. X.get(foo=1) or X(foo=1) sometimes can raise an exception, if another transaction was able to insert object in between

Hello guys, I wonder if the source code for the online editor Is available , or if you could tell me which js libraries is using to render the diagrams and svg connections. I'm trying to start an open source project to do a similar think for Django models and it would be very instructive. Thanks

Hi Federico, we didn't open source the editor code. We use reactjs, mobx and svg. The next week we are releasing the editor for Django - want to see if it will be useful for Django community

Good to hear that, I'll stay tuned for that. I also wanted to generate the code to wire up those models to api views with django rest or graphene, so perhaps I'll also try to build the diagram myself. Thanks!

Great! Will let you know once we deploy it. The only thing that I'm afraid will not be very straitforward is that we have to split the Django models declarations and the behavior the way it is described here https://bradmontgomery.net/blog/django-models-mixins-for-cleaner-code/

because each models update will rewrite the file, and having the model methods incorporated into the models is not convenient

is there a way in pony to detect duplicate records on insert? such as INSERT INTO the_table (id, column_1, column_2) VALUES (1, 'A', 'X'), (2, 'B', 'Y'), (3, 'C', 'Z') ON CONFLICT (id) DO UPDATE SET column_1 = excluded.column_1, column_2 = excluded.column_2;

using postgres

Does Pony have something like table_entry.update(**newdata)

At this monent you need to write raw sql query using db.execute(sql): https://docs.ponyorm.com/api_reference.html?highlight=execute#Database.execute

Does Pony have something like table_entry.update(**newdata)

newdata = {'foo': 1, 'bar': 2} some_entity.set(**newdata) If you need to forse immediate execution of sql command, you can apply flush() function or db.flush() method

newdata = {'foo': 1, 'bar': 2} some_entity.set(**newdata) If you need to forse immediate execution of sql command, you can apply flush() function or db.flush() method

Thanks!

По русски здесь говорят?

No, please speak in English

Ok

TIL

Is there any reason why an after_insert method on a pony entity would not fire in a flask application?

the objects are successfully created in the database, but the after_insert isn't called (verified with a print statement on first line of after_insert method)

Can you define after_update method too and check if it is called instead?

Should it be called on the creation of a new object?

after_insert seems to work in other parts of the same project

i think this is not pony's fault :)

It should work. The behavior that you described looks like a bug. It was my guess that maybe another object X was able to update the object Y you speak about in its X.after_insert hook, and than Y.after_update hook was invoked instead of Y.after_insert. It just a wild guess. Maybe the problem lies somewhere else

after mentioning it, i noticed that the method was being called

Ah, ok. Good

is after_insert always called after commit (either explicit or implicit) ? I am getting background jobs created in an after_insert unable to find newly created objects (which had after_insert fired) running in another process

The job does get a numeric ID though

which implies that the commit has happened

The workers are python-rq

Can I do mass-update statements in pony? I've got Stickers in a Pack, having tl_ids. I have a list of stickers which should not be set to deleted, namely still_existing_sticker_tl_ids=set(123,456,789) SQL should be something like this: """ UPDATE sticker SET deleted=true WHERE sticker.pack == %db_pack% AND sticker.tl_id NOT IN (%still_existing_sticker_tl_ids%) """ I think the Pony orm select is roughly query = orm.select(db_sticker for db_sticker in db_pack.stickers if db_sticker.tl_id not in still_existing_sticker_tl_ids)

you can do query.delete(bulk=True)

I set a delete flag, not actually remove them

oh sorry

No problem :D

afaik no that's not currently possible in pony

So there is no select(...).update(field=lel)

not that I know of

When pony does a query (using postgres), using a long running session, is it guaranteed to pick up objects which have just been committed in another session?

Maybe using orm.commit?

I do this in one session: X(a=1); commit() Then in another existing session, I do X.get(id=1)

where 1 is the ID of the object just created

and then it doesn't find it

I have recently discovered this as an issue because the work queue is more likely to be empty, due to efficiency improvements

could serializable=True be the answer?

alternative could be scheduling work in say 10 seconds but that feels ugly
