Works exactly the same as filter and all modifiers (suffixes) are the same, but returns a not condition.

Note that all conditions are joined so if you pass multiple values it becomes a union of conditions.

exclude(name='John', age>=35) will become where not (name='John' and age>=35)

     to exclude a field it has to be nullable.

    Pk column cannot be excluded - it's always auto added even if
    not explicitly included.

    You can also pass fields to include as dictionary or set.

    To mark a field as included in a dictionary use it's name as key
    and ellipsis as value.

    To traverse nested models use nested dictionaries.

    To include fields at last level instead of nested dictionary a set can be used.

    To include whole nested model specify model related field name and ellipsis.

filter(*args, **kwargs)

Allows you to filter by any Model attribute/field as well as to fetch instances, with a filter across an FK relationship.

You can use special filter suffix to change the filter operands:

  • exact - like album__name__exact='Malibu' (exact match)
  • iexact - like album__name__iexact='malibu' (exact match case insensitive)
  • contains - like album__name__contains='Mal' (sql like)
  • icontains - like album__name__icontains='mal' (sql like case insensitive)
  • in - like album__name__in=['Malibu', 'Barclay'] (sql in)
  • isnull - like album__name__isnull=True (sql is null) (isnotnull album__name__isnull=False (sql is not null))
  • gt - like position__gt=3 (sql >)
  • gte - like position__gte=3 (sql >=)
  • lt - like position__lt=3 (sql <)
  • lte - like position__lte=3 (sql <=)
  • startswith - like album__name__startswith='Mal' (exact start match)

order_by(columns)

With order_by() you can order the results from database based on your choice of fields.

You can provide a string with field name or list of strings with fields names.

Ordering in sql will be applied in order of names you provide in order_by.

By default if you do not provide ordering ormar explicitly orders by all primary keys

If you are sorting by nested models that causes that the result rows are unsorted by the main model ormar will combine those children rows into one main model.

The main model will never duplicate in the result

To order by main model field just provide a field name

To sort on nested models separate field names with dunder '__'.

You can sort this way across all relation types -> ForeignKey, reverse virtual FK and ManyToMany fields.

To sort in descending order provide a hyphen in front of the field name

def select_related(self, related: Union[List, str]) -> "QuerysetProxy[T]":

    Allows to prefetch related models during the same query.

    models are processed in python.

    To fetch related model use `ForeignKey` names.

    To chain related `Models` relation use double underscores between names.

update(each=False, **kwargs) async

Updates the model table after applying the filters from kwargs.

You have to either pass a filter to narrow down a query or explicitly pass each=True flag to affect whole table.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
each bool

flag if whole table should be affected if no filter is passed

False
kwargs Any

fields names and proper value types
