Using an external database such as MySQL, does Zope(2-3-2) (or Python-in-Zope) provide any mechanism to retrieve the names of the columns queried, rather than simply the DATA within those columns?
Please allow me to obfuscate this question with an example of what I need.. :-)
several ways to achieve what you want: <dtml-with "user_query(fname='Bob')"> <dtml-in dictionaries> <dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in> </dtml-with> returns for each sequence item a dictionary of name:value pairs. Equivalent: <dtml-in "user_query(fname='Bob').dictionaries()"> "user_query(fname='Bob').names()" gives a list of the column names "user_query(fname='Bob').tuples()" returns a list(tuple?) of the result rows in a tuple (better try it, words lost me). So you could also combine names() and tuples() cheers, oliver
