如何使用区域字段更新 GeoDjango model

Question

Here the model:

from django.contrib.gis.db import models    
class City(models.Model):
    mpoly = models.MultiPolygonField()
    area = models.IntegerField(null=True)

I want to update all records at once to set the area. I've tried:

from django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions import Area, Transform

City.objects.all().update(area=Area(Transform("mpoly", 2154)))

Which fails with "DataError: value too long for type character varying(8)"...

Do you have an elegant one liner to do it?

Answer 1

As a matter of fact, my problem was that I try to put a large number in a char field (of 8 characters). The provided example and the error are unrelated.

To make it work with the provided model:

from django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions import Area, Transform
from django.db.models import IntegerField
from django.db.models.functions import Cast

City.objects.all().update(area=Cast(Area(Transform("mpoly", 2154)), IntegerField()))
