Elena, you could pass a parameter like params={'col1':'val1', 'col2':'val2'} and write you SQL method like: select * from table <dtml-sqlgroup where> <dtml-in "params.keys()"> <dtml-var sequence-item> = '<dtml-var "params[_['sequence-value']]">' <dtml-unless sequence-end> and </dtml-unless> </dtml-in> </dtml-sqlgroup> you can extend this to check for types, different condition joiners etc. Babu -- http://vsbabu.org/ Elena Schulz wrote:
Hi,
is there any convenient way, to have a dynamic where-clause in zsql-Methods? All my effords had severe limitation up to now: 1. <dtml-sqltest .. needs a fixed column=.... expression 2. WHERE <dtml-var ...> with the whole clause in the var doesn't work because of quoting problems. ... So it seems that there is only very limited scope with <sql-group and explicit column=myExplicitColumnName constructs or am I missing something? A completely dynamic query with python script would be also a good alternative but how to do that?
-- thanks for any input, Elena
