I have an approach that works for me, but it may be a bit awkward. I have a SQL method (dbGetUserID) which takes AUTHENTICATED_USER as an argument and finds the value from the "userid" field in the database: select userid from users where shortname = <dtml-sqlvar AUTHENTICATED_USER type=nb> When I need to perform database ops on the user, I just call this method and use the resulting id, eg, insert into sometable (userid, otherfield) values (<dtml-in dbGetUserID><dtml-sqlvar userid type=int></dtml-in>, <dtml-sqlvar sequence-item type=int>) I have AUTHENTICATED_USER in the parameter list for this SQL method as well, though it may not need to be...

Hi,
I'm trying to perform a simple MySQL lookup based on the AUTHENTICATED_USER. When I test the ZSQL method from the management interface, everything works fine. However, when I try to call the method from a DTML document, [it] returns nothing.
Is this a namespace issue? I'm stumped and hoping that I'm not staring right past the problem. Can anyone point out what it is I am doing wrong? Thanks,
a) DTML Document : foo
<dtml-with people> <dtml-in lookup_by_username> <dtml-var "username"> </dtml-in> </dtml-with>
b) ZSQL Method : people.lookup_by_username
select * from people where username = "<dtml-var "REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()">"
