  1. POGQL Query with __key__ in List of KEYs
    text
    copied!<p>In the <a href="http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/gqlreference.html" rel="nofollow">GQL reference</a>, it is encouraged to use the <code>IN</code> keyword with a list of values, and to construct a Key from hand the GQL query</p> <pre><code>SELECT * FROM MyModel WHERE __key__ = KEY('MyModel', 'my_model_key') </code></pre> <p>will succeed. However, using the code you would expect to work:</p> <pre><code>SELECT * FROM MyModel WHERE __key__ IN (KEY('MyModel', 'my_model_key1'), KEY('MyModel', 'my_model_key2')) </code></pre> <p>in the Datastore Viewer, there is a complaint of "Invalid GQL query string."</p> <p>What is the correct way to format such a query?</p> <p>UPDATE: This is not possible to do with the current SDK. As I note in my comment, when using a list, only a reference (e.g. <code>:1</code> or <code>:email</code>) or an int, float, string, boolean or null literal are acceptable list entries.</p> <p><strong>SECOND UPDATE: I fixed the bug and it is now possible to perform such queries. Fix can be found in Google Code Hosting <a href="http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/source/diff?spec=svn241&amp;r=241&amp;format=side&amp;path=/trunk/python/google/appengine/ext/gql/__init__.py&amp;old_path=/trunk/python/google/appengine/ext/gql/__init__.py" rel="nofollow">diff</a>.</strong></p> <p>PS I know there are more efficient ways to do this in Python (without constructing a GQL query) and using the remote_api, but each call to the remote_api counts against quota. In an environment where quota is not (necessarily) free, quick and dirty queries are very helpful.</p>
