Hey everyone! I'm working on a strange database project, and I've run into a little stumbling block. Thought I'd bounce this off the group and see if there's any workarounds... my goal: build a SQL statement that will create a table with a name provided by an external method. -- my first attempt | this is the contents of a sql method -- CREATE TABLE <dtml-sqlvar tablename type=nb>_<dtml-sqlvar tabletype type=nb> ( testfield VARCHAR(75) ) ------------------------ But when it gets rendered, the variables get quoted. =( So, I found jPenny's Variable SQl statement how-to, and tried using it instead: -- my second attempt | this is the contents of a sql method -- <dtml-var "sqltablecall"> ------------------------ -- this is the contents of an external method -- mastertablename = "somename_standardtable" sqltablecall = "CREATE TABLE " + mastertablename + " ( testfield VARCHAR(75) )" self.SQL_create_master_table(sqltablecall=sqltablecall) ------------------------ This returns a "bad request" error... Apparently the variable cannot be passed directly like this..?? My questions: Is there a way to disable quoting in SQLvars? OR, how do I go about adding the sqltablecall variable into the request (which I'm assuming is where it's looking). Thanks for any ideas! -ed-
