I know this has to be easy but my eyes are bloody from looking for the answer at zope.org and in the Zope docs. I want to have a sentence on a page that simply tells people how many records are in a database. I created a ZSQL method that just does this: select count(*) from database1 That method is called countrecords. Now in the DTML document, I have: There are <dtml-var countrecords> records in the database. No joy. No value ever gets placed into the sentence. So I suspect that the count is being returned as a list (which is how SQL results are supposed to be returned to Zope/Python, a I get it). But here, there's no row and there's no variable name, so how would I possibly iterate over it? Is there an easier, more direct way to do this? I'm sure there is but I can't find a single example of this use anywhere. -- Dan Shafer, Author-Consultant http://www.danshafer.com http://www.shafermedia.com
