Apologies, I am completely new to Django. My question is that I have 20 records in my database table and suppose 10 record is of same ID and I want to fetch last inserted record for that id I have date column in my table. How can I do that?
last_obj = YourModel.objects.last()
But generally, you can't create > 1 objects with same id, if you didn't specified your own id field to replace built-in. And even then, it's a bad idea.

I am stuck while dynamically forming a new column based certain WHERE clause from another Table in PowerBi. To give more details, let's say I have a table with item numbers associated with a Customer Name. In another table, I have to add a new column, which will dynamically add the item numbers associated with a particular customer and append as a query parameter to a base url.
So, my first table looks like this:
The second table that I want is this:
The query parameter value in the URL, has to be dynamically based on a SELECT query with a WHERE clause and pick up the ItemNumbers using the Customer field which is common between both. So, how can this be done in PowerBi? Any help would be really appreciated :)
I have one table in my model "TableRol" if I want to summarize my Date as the string I can use CONCATENATEX;
URL = CONCATENATE(CONCATENATE("http:\\mysite.com\parametersHere\getitem?='",CONCATENATEX(VALUES('TableRol'[Date]), 'TableRol'[Date],";")),"'")
I'm making a Microsoft Access table where one of the fields is a list of pre-made options. When I make a SQL query on that table it returns the values of the list as strings containing the spelled out choice. I would like to assign numerical values to each element of the list so a SQL query returns a number instead. How do I do this? I know it's possible because I have an access file with such a list but I'm unable to recreate it.
An easy way to do this is to have your combo box use a query of the table as a Rowsource. This query would have the table unique ID in the first field and the field you wish to return as the second field. Then change the setting on the combo box for "Column Count" to 2. If you want to show both fields change the "Column Widths" value to 1"; 1". If you want to show only one field, change the value of one you do not want to see to 0. Now we you refer to this list in an SQL queries, it will use the ID field but show the user the string field.
I have a dynamo-db table with following schema
{
"id": String [hash key]
"type": String [range key]
}
I have a usecase where I need to fetch last 3 rows for a given id when type is unknown.
Your items need a timestamp attribute. Without that they can’t be sorted out filtered by time. Once you have that, you can define a local secondary index with the id as partition key and the timestamp as the sort key. You can then get the top three items from the index.
Find more information about DynamoDb’s Local Secondary Index here.
Add a field to store the timestamp to the schema
Use query to fetch all the records for the given key
Query always returns records sorted by range key, you cannot set a sort order (without changing table's schema), so, sort the records by timestamp in your code
Get top 3 records
If you have a lot of records, use filter expressions to drop extra results. E.g. if you know that latest records will always have a timestamp not older than a hour (day, week or so) you could filter older records.
I've recently started learning DynamoDB and created a table 'Communication' with the following attributes (along with the DynamoDB type):
Primary Key Communication ID (randomly generated seq # or UUID): String
Sort Key User ID: String
Attributes/Columns:
Communication_Mode: String
Communication_Channel: String
Communication_Preference: String (possible values Y/N)
DateTime: Number
Use case: User can choose not to be communicated (Communication_Preference: N) and after a month user may opt for it (Communication_Preference: Y); meaning for the same User ID there can be more than 1 record as PartitionKey is randomly generated number
If I have to query above table and retrieve last inserted record for a specific userid do I need to create Global Secondary Index on DateTime.
Can someone correct me if my understanding is wrong or propose me the best option to meet above requirement. Thanks!
I'm using the following: dynamodb2, boto, python. I have the following code for creating a table:
table = Table.create('mySecondTable',
schema=[HashKey('ID')],
RangeKey('advertiser'),
throughput={'read':5,'write':2},
global_indexes=[GlobalAllIndex('otherDataIndex',parts=[
HashKey('date',data_type=NUMBER),
RangeKey('publisher', date_type=str),
],throughput={'read':5,'write':3})],
connection=conn)
I would like to be able to have the following data that I can query by:
ID, advertiser, date, publisher, size, and color
That means I need a different schema. When I add additional points it does not query unless the column name is listed in the schema.
The problem however is that right now I am only able to query by Id, advertiser, date, and publisher in this case. How can I add additional columns that I can query by?
I read this which appears to say that it is possible:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/GSI.html
However there is no example here:
http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/dynamodb2_tut.html
I tried adding an additional range key however it doesn't work (cannot have duplicates)
I'd like it to be like:
table = Table.create('mySecondTable',
schema=[
RangeKey('advertiser'),
otherKey('date')
fourthKey('publisher') ... etc
throughput={'read':5,'write':2},
connection=conn)
Thanks!
If you want to add additional range keys you need to use Local secondary index.
You can query the LSI in the same way that you query the base table. You need to provide an exact value for the hashkey and a comparison-predicate for range key.
