I have 2 table and I want to insert a reference to the first table into the second table. This is the table I want to reference, named player
self.db.insert('player',
{'char_id': char_info.char_id,
'name': char_info.name,
}
I tried following the official docs and do this:
self.db.insert('admin', {'char_id': {'$ref' : 'player', 'char_id': char_id}})
However, when I try it I get his error bson.errors.InvalidDocument: key '$ref' must not start with '$'
They queries might look a bit odd but all they are customized they just defined like this insert('table name', query)
How do I properly do this and be able to expand player?
I encountered the very same problem.. But I didn't find right answers for it. However, I was able to make it work using DBRef..
from bson.dbref import DBRef
ref=DBRef(collection='player',id=char_id)
self.db.insert('admin', {'char_id':ref})
This should work..
The problem with your idea is that it the Id doesn't get recognized as an Id. THis is why you have to tell pyMongo, that it has to deal with it as a foreign Id. you can do that with ObjectId:
from bson.objectid import ObjectId
table2 = db.table2
table2_elem = {
'player': ObjectId('_idStringOfOPlayerElement')
}
table2.insert_one(table2_elem)

I have the following query
$partner = DeliveryPartner::with(['deliveryPartnerImage' => function($q) {
$q->where('image_type', '=', 'logo');
}])
->find($id);
this works. for a partner with a logo it shows a relation with 1 item like so
and when i change the where clause to something non existent for example $q->where('image_type', '=', 'testtesttest');
it shows a empty array like this
so i know my query works but how to get this data in the view?
i did $partner->deliveryPartnerImage()->first() But for some reason this always shows data? also when i change the query... so im guessing im doing this wrong but i can not find another way to do this?
Use this:
$partner->deliveryPartnerImage
$partner->deliveryPartnerImage()->first() executes a new query without the where() constraint.
I would like to look up and return an object referenced by a different column to that of id.
As far as I know there isn't another method similar to Task::findOrFail($id) but that can reference another field. For example:
Task::findOrFail('column_name' = 'column_data');
I'm currently using
Task::where('tid' , '=', $tid)->first();
Is this possible?
Maybe you can use the firstOrFail() function of Laravel.
Task::where('column_name', '=' ,'column_data')->firstOrFail();
I want to be able to search for my objects by searching for the last 4 characters of the id. How can I do that?
Book.where(_id: params[:q])
Where the param would be something like a3f4, and in this case the actual id for the object that I want to be found would be:
bc313c1f5053b66121a8a3f4
Notice the last for characters are what we searched for. How can I search for just "part" of my objects id? instead of having my user search manually by typing in the entire id?
I found in MongoDB's help docs, that I can provide a regex:
db.x.find({someId : {$regex : "123\\[456\\]"}}) // use "\\" to escape
Is there a way for me to search using the regular mongo ruby driver and not using Mongoid?
Usually, in Mongoid you can search with a regexp like you normally would with a string in your call to where() ie:
Book.where(:title => /^Alice/) # returns all books with titles starting with 'Alice'
However this doesn't work in your case, because the _id field is not stored as a string, but as an ObjectID. However, you could add (and index) a field on your models which could provide this functionality for you, which you can populate in an after_create callback.
<shameless_plug>
Alternatively, if you're just looking for a shorter solution to the default Mongoid IDs, I could suggest something like mongoid_token which makes it pretty easy to add shorter tokens/ids to your Mongoid documents.

i am trying to make a simple selection in a wordpress table (created by a plugin). the table is named reduceri , and has the following columns: id, post, category.
so, i am trying to take all the category values, when the post is equal to the current post id.
the way i am doing the query is:
$the_query = "
SELECT $wpdb->reduceri.category
FROM $wpdb->reduceri
WHERE $wpdb->reduceri.post = ".$post_id."
";
$my_reduceri = $wpdb->get_results($the_query);
but when i var_dump the $my_reduceri all i get is an empty array: array(0) { } even though there should actually be some results... any idea where i am wrong (in the query)?
thank you
Did you declared global $wpdb; before using this query?
here's my model:
class Person
acts_as_tree
end
i relate multiple objects as a tree:
P1
|
---
| |
P1.1 P1.2
|
---
| |
P1.1.1 P1.1.2
here if i need to retreive P1.1.1 i need to write a query that effectively asks:
get me the Person with name P1.1.1 and path (given by acts_as_tree) [P1, P1.1].
querying by just name is not enough as i can have similar named people at multiple paths.
how do i do this?
> db.people.find({name: 'P1.1.1'})
above snippet will show me the path attribute correctly as expected, but i cannot query by that path.
> db.people.find({name: 'P1.1.1', path: [{name: 'P1'}, {name: 'P1.1'}]})
doesn't work. neither does:
> db.people.find({name: 'P1.1.1', path: [db.people.find({name: 'P1'}),
db.people.find({name: 'P1.1'})]})
but that explains what i'm trying to do.
One of the ways where you can query something like as follows:
db.people.find({name : 'Joe', 'path' : { $all : [ObjectId("4e0fcf1722b7a9439200002e"), ObjectId("4e0fcf1622b7a9439200002b")]}})
However the drawback I think of this is:
You don't get to substitute the object relations/joins directly in mongo shell. You have to use the ObjectId object
The $all clause does not necessitate that the order of path is strictly same, which means that a person with name "Joe" referenced by path "hometown/town/" would come up as well as "Joe" from "tome/hometown".
I would presume that second one may be a deal breaker. Also, I am presuming that mongoid in several cases pass across the query options directly to mongodb (or atleast there are ways to do that). Hence it should be possible to do a search in ruby code using given query above.
Nevertheless, I'll do some more re-search on this and post my findings back.
Hope it helps.
Edit
To alleviate the second problem above there is also another way to query a person with a specific path. Find it below:
db.people.find({name : 'Joe', 'path.0' :ObjectId("4e0fcf1722b7a9439200002e"), 'path.1':ObjectId("4e0fcf1622b7a9439200002b")})
This would ensure that path is exactly what you are looking for. However this works in mongodb shell and you may still need to figure out, how mongoid can run an equivalent of this. Plus you may have to construct this query dynamically to create a path for person and that (for deep nested people) may just become long and ugly.
I would suggest skimming through following links on mongodb documentation to get a better understanding.
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Dot+Notation+%28Reaching+into+Objects%29
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Advanced+Queries#AdvancedQueries-ValueinanArray
I hope this is what you were looking for.
