Flask-sqlalchemy query datetime intervals

Question

I have defined a table with flask-sqlalchemy. Displayed below.

class Notes(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    notes = db.Column(         


        

Answer 1

The following should also work:

from sqlalchemy import func
from sqlalchemy.dialects.postgresql import INTERVAL
from sqlalchemy.sql.functions import concat

Notes.query\
    .filter(
        Notes.added_at >= (func.now() - func.cast(concat(8, ' HOURS'), INTERVAL))
    )\
    .limit(num)

It has the nice property that 8 can be replaced with a value from inside the database, e.g., if you joined in another table with dynamic intervals. I gave this answer also here.
