I've been asked too many times now by developers what is wrong when they call ZSQL Methods without passing parameters because their parameters are in the namespace. This seems to make sense to all new Zopers (and some older ones like myself) because all other DTML lookups are in the entire namespace. Anyway, I propose that ZSQLMethods change and do variable lookups in the entire namespace, not just the REQUEST object. It seems to be a simple enough change (at least it looks it) and I can submit the patches, but the harder thing is to get people to agree that it is a change for the better. The only argument that I have heard against it is that variables will be found mysteriously through the stack and that this is harder to understand. However, that just makes it inconsistent with all other DTML and therefore mysterious in its own way. Consistency is much better for learning and for remembering, and DTML in ZSQL should work the same as DTML in DTML Methods, etc. Please consider this and abuse me as appropriate ;) Regards, Tim -- Tim McLaughlin iterationZERO - www.iterationzero.com 703.481.2233
