Question

I m trying to make a query function that accepts two datetime.date object(start_date and end_date), and return all records with a related field that s between start_date and end_date. However, I found nothing like a between function in the web2py manual, so I implement it this way:

        for o in objects:
            # notice that create_time is a datetime field
            create_date = dt.datetime.strptime(o[ create_time ], 
                                               "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S").strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
        if query_dict[ create_date_1 ] <= create_date <= query_dict[ create_date_2 ]:
            result.append(l)

Doing this is too slow for my application because their can be many objects. So, is there a better way I can implement this using web2py.DAL? Thanks in advance ;)

Answer 1

db((db.mytable.create_date>=query_dict[ create_date1 ])&(db.mytable.create_date<=query_dict[ create_date2 ])).select()
