We have seen the most important model methods used to generate recordsets and how to write to them, but there are a few more model methods available for more specific actions, as shown here:
- read([fields]) is similar to the browse method, but, instead of a recordset, it returns a list of rows of data with the fields given as its argument. Each row is a dictionary. It provides a serialized representation of the data that can be sent through RPC protocols and is intended to be used by client programs and not in server logic.
- search_read([domain], [fields], offset=0, limit=None, order=None) performs a search operation followed by a read on the resulting record list. It is intended to be used by RPC clients ...
