FAQPage Schema
How do I count Odoo records matching a search domain without loading data?▼

To count Odoo records without loading data, use the search_count method via XML-RPC. This approach returns the record volume for a given search domain efficiently, saving time and resources.

What is the best way to check the volume of open invoices in an Odoo model?▼

Checking the volume of open invoices in an Odoo model is best done by counting records matching your specific search domain. Using the search_count method via XML-RPC provides a quick volume check without retrieving the actual invoice data.

Do I need an active Odoo connection to use the search_count method via XML-RPC?▼

Yes, you need an active Odoo connection to use the search_count method via XML-RPC. This connection is required to send the search domain request to your Odoo instance and receive the accurate record count.

Can I count records in the account.move model using an XML-RPC search domain?▼

You can count records in the account.move model by applying a defined search domain through the XML-RPC search_count method. This allows you to quickly get the total number of matching records without loading them.

Why use search_count instead of loading Odoo records to get a record volume?▼

Using search_count instead of loading Odoo records saves significant time and system resources. It calculates the record volume directly on the server using a search domain, bypassing the need to transfer large datasets over the network.

What are the limitations of counting Odoo records with a search domain?▼

Counting Odoo records with a search domain is limited to returning a numerical volume. It does not retrieve or display the actual record data, so you cannot inspect specific field values from the search_count result.
