Django Trunc 数据到 15 分钟

Question

I am currently using the Truc function of Django to aggregate some data within the day and hour.

I would like to do the same but over 15 minutes, instead of an hour or just a minute but I can't figure it out.

Here is an example of my current query:

data_trunc = data_qs.annotate(
   start_day=Trunc('date_created', 'minute', output_field=DateTimeField()))
   .values('start_day', 'content', 'device')

The problem lies with the 'minutes' argument that can be passed to Trunc . As far as I get it, there is no choice inbetween 'hour' and 'minutes' .

How can I group my data over 15 minutes and have a larger time span for the data grouping ?

I know that I could do this by hand afterward but I'd really like to have the database do this for me since there is a large dataset to compute and this way is the most efficient one I have yet.
If this is the only way though I am opened to suggestions to the most efficient ways to get around this.

Thanks for your help

Edit
I should have specified I did not wish to use raw SQL to do this and stick with Django ORM or native Python.

Answer 1

Well,

Since I do not want to go along the path of using Postgres functions and stick with the ORM, I ended up manually trunc-ing the data iterating all items.

def trunc_minutes(raw_data, groupping=15):

truncated_arranged = []
current_slice = []
end_time = raw_data[0]['start_day'] + timedelta(minutes=groupping)

for d in raw_data:
    if d['start_day'] <= end_time:
        current_slice.append(d)
    else:
        truncated_arranged.append(current_slice)
        current_slice = [d]
        end_time = d['start_day'] + timedelta(minutes=groupping)

return truncated_arranged

This might not be the fastest way but it works and does not require raw SQL.

Edit : Add d in the else part of the code so that the value that get in the new slice isn't forgotten
