All of these functions are available from the
django.contrib.postgres.functions
module.
TransactionNow
¶TransactionNow
¶Returns the date and time on the database server that the current transaction
started. If you are not in a transaction it will return the date and time of
the current statement. This is a complement to
django.db.models.functions.Now
, which returns the date and time of the
current statement.
Note that only the outermost call to atomic()
sets up a transaction and thus sets the time that TransactionNow()
will
return; nested calls create savepoints which do not affect the transaction
time.
Usage example:
>>> from django.contrib.postgres.functions import TransactionNow
>>> Article.objects.filter(published__lte=TransactionNow())
