Django Queryset for date

Question

Does anyone know the quickest way to delete any entries from a database that is older then 6 months. So far Ive been using...

Example.objects.filter(date_created__lte="2011-2-9  12:00:00" ).delete()

Thanks,

Answer 1

Try this:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
Example.objects.filter(date_created__lte=datetime.utcnow() - 
                          timedelta(days=6*30)).delete()

Answer 2

try this if your date_created is of type datetimefield

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

six_months = datetime.now() - timedelta(weeks=24)
Example.objects.filter(date_created__lte=six_months).delete()
