Para completar la respuesta de @ zzzeek .
Si desea agregar un índice compuesto con DESC y utilizar el método declarativo ORM, puede hacer lo siguiente.
Además, estaba luchando con la documentación de índices funcionales de SQSAlchemy, tratando de averiguar cómo sustituir mytable.c.somecol.
from sqlalchemy import Index
Index('someindex', mytable.c.somecol.desc())
Podemos simplemente usar la propiedad del modelo e invocarla .desc():
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
db = SQLAlchemy()
class GpsReport(db.Model):
__tablename__ = 'gps_report'
id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.Sequence('gps_report_id_seq'), nullable=False, autoincrement=True, server_default=db.text("nextval('gps_report_id_seq'::regclass)"))
timestamp = db.Column(db.DateTime, nullable=False, primary_key=True)
device_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('device.id'), primary_key=True, autoincrement=False)
device = db.relationship("Device", back_populates="gps_reports")
# Indexes
__table_args__ = (
db.Index('gps_report_timestamp_device_id_idx', timestamp.desc(), device_id),
)
Si usa Alembic, estoy usando Flask-Migrate, genera algo como:
from alembic import op
import sqlalchemy as sa
# Added manually this import
from sqlalchemy.schema import Sequence, CreateSequence
def upgrade():
# ### commands auto generated by Alembic - please adjust! ###
# Manually added the Sequence creation
op.execute(CreateSequence(Sequence('gps_report_id_seq')))
op.create_table('gps_report',
sa.Column('id', sa.Integer(), server_default=sa.text("nextval('gps_report_id_seq'::regclass)"), nullable=False),
sa.Column('timestamp', sa.DateTime(), nullable=False))
sa.Column('device_id', sa.Integer(), autoincrement=False, nullable=False),
op.create_index('gps_report_timestamp_device_id_idx', 'gps_report', [sa.text('timestamp DESC'), 'device_id'], unique=False)
def downgrade():
# ### commands auto generated by Alembic - please adjust! ###
op.drop_index('gps_report_timestamp_device_id_idx', table_name='gps_report')
op.drop_table('gps_report')
# Manually added the Sequence removal
op.execute(sa.schema.DropSequence(sa.Sequence('gps_report_id_seq')))
# ### end Alembic commands ###
Finalmente, debería tener la siguiente tabla e índices en su base de datos PostgreSQL:
psql> \d gps_report;
Table "public.gps_report"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default
-----------------+-----------------------------+-----------+----------+----------------------------------------
id | integer | | not null | nextval('gps_report_id_seq'::regclass)
timestamp | timestamp without time zone | | not null |
device_id | integer | | not null |
Indexes:
"gps_report_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree ("timestamp", device_id)
"gps_report_timestamp_device_id_idx" btree ("timestamp" DESC, device_id)
Foreign-key constraints:
"gps_report_device_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (device_id) REFERENCES device(id)
