Problems filtering django datetime field by month and day


I was seeing exactly the same behaviour as you.

If you check the documentation for 1.6 and the month queryset. They have added the following paragraph:

"When USE_TZ is True, datetime fields are converted to the current time zone before filtering. This requires time zone definitions in the database."

If you change the following line in your settings to False, then you should start getting the data back that you're expecting.

USE_TZ = False


@Simon Wilder perfectly answer why it's not working, here is how you can actually solve it without disabling TZ support in django

Django document give instruction to install time zone definition to database:

SQLite: install pytz — conversions are actually performed in Python.

PostgreSQL: no requirements (see Time Zones).

Oracle: no requirements (see Choosing a Time Zone File).

MySQL: install pytz and load the time zone tables with mysql_tzinfo_to_sql.

In my case : mysql and Mac Os, following command solve the problem:

sudo mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo/ | mysql -u root mysql


Your syntax is incorrect. It should be:

Clicks.objects.filter(created__month=2)

(you left off the 'objects' manager)
