Google App Engine python, GQL, select only one column from datastore
You can't. GQL is not SQL, and the datastore is not a relational database. An entity is stored as a single serialized protocol buffer, and it's impossible to fetch part of an entity; the whole thing needs to be deserialized.
Im trying to pull only one column from a datastore table
I have a Books model with
id, key, title, author, isbn and price
everything = db.GqlQuery('SELECT * FROM Books') gives me everything, but say i only want the title
books = db.GqlQuery('SELECT title FROM Books')
Ive tried everything people have suggested but nothing seems to work
Any help is much appreciated 
Thanks
