django-cli-query 1.1

Management command for commandline querying

Copyright (c) 2009-2012 Dennis Kaarsemaker <[e-mail]> A command-line interface to query the Django ORM

Install:

• python setup.py install

• Add cli_query to the INSTALLED_APPLICATIONS setting in your settings.py

Usage: cd your_project_dir; ./manage.py query [options] [filters]

The django ORM will be queried with the filters on the commandline. Records will be separated with newlines, fields with the specified separator (the default is a comma). Alternatively, a template can be specified which will be passed the result of the query as the ‘objects’ variable

Query key/value pairs can be prefixed with a ‘!’ or ‘~’ to negate the query. The __in filter works, use a comma separated string of arguments

Examples:

• Display name and assettag of all mc01 servers ./manage.py query -a servers -m Server name__startswith=mc01 -f name,assettag

• Get a list of name, ip, mac for all servers where the does not contain .82. ./manage.py query -a servers -m Interface !ip_address__contains=’.82.’ -f server.name,ip_address,mac_address

• Use a template to get the roles, depending on mac address ./manage.py query -a servers -m Server interface__mac_address=00:17:A4:8D:E6:BC -t ‘{{ objects.0.role_set.all|join:”,” }}’

• List all eth0/eth1 network interfaces ./manage.py query -a servers -m Interface name__in=eth0,eth1 -f ip_address,mac_address

• Update the status of many servers at once ./manage.py query -a servers -m Server name__contains=builder- -u status=spare
