David, Thank you, I've been successful in setting up basic SQL methods, data input forms and query forms, the problem Ive been having is in trying to break each table record (one row in a table, say) out into a separate DTML document.. with fields in the record forming the parts of the document.. (I'm making a web heirarchy of events which each have to have their own page with various kinds of constantly changing information about the event on them.. These pages have to live at relatively stable URLs.. (of course, it doesnt matter if they are physical documents to a search engine..) So far what Ive seen in the ZSQL Methods guide are lots of hints on how to use SQL methods to build tables from my data, and how to build interfaces to use a given SQL query to filter those tables by content.. Which is great if you want lots of lists.. What I want to build are lists *and their linked documents* the records' fields flowing into the meta tags and body text of many individual objects. When a record is deleted from the source SQL table, I want to be able to have that deletion propagate to the child document.. Is a valid approach to iterate through all of the rows of the table, taking one field of the individual record and using that to deliniate the "ID" of the generated document, then writing the others out as HTML through dtml-var tags? I know this seems like a stupid question, but it seems as if this is such a common need that I cant help but feel that one of the available products would address it. If one doesnt exist then yes, I'll have to figure it out myself.. I've seen similar things done in some Zope products.. so I know it can be done... What I was hoping for is for some suggestions on the best way to go about it that didnt require me figuring it out from scratch.... Thank you "R. David Murray" wrote:

I'd suggest checking out the ZSQL Methods manual, and then asking any questions that you still have (and there probably will be some!)
