Hi, I'm building a database interface in Zope. We are using Zope 2.6, Python 2.1.3, and the database is in PostGreSQL 7.3.3. The problem I am having is trying to search the database and return a set number of entries. Like how Yahoo! returns 25 possibilities in it's search per page. Or how Google returns 10. I'd like to know how to code it so that a database search returns a set number of entries found, and can make pages with multiple entries if there's more than the set number of entries on a page. Anyone have any ideas?
Dont be mislead by the other answers :) I hope you dont have to use DTML, so you can concentrate on the recommended way. The key here is to use the ZTUtils.Batch class as utility for batching (API documentation is in the ZopeBook, there are several examples you will find with Google. Try not to mix it into ZPT, like some examples show but use a small python script and return the values from there. Good luck Tino Wildenhain
