In the fine tradition of solving your own problems (which I can because I've got the source! Yea!) I've fixed the ZPyGreSQLDA product to return empty result properly - well, not completely properly, but It Works For Me. (I'm a complete Python newbie, as well as a Zope newbie, not to mention an SQL beginner...) I'm sending this to the mailing list as well as the author, since I've had zero feedback from anybody, but did send the original cry for help out to the list, so now the archives have the problem and an answer. (BTW, my earlier authentication problem still exists - I can't get Zope to recognize anyboy but the superuser, even though I'm using ZopeHTTPServer ) Patch to ZPyGreSQLDA/db.py attached. Ross J.

As the subject says, the ZPyGreSQLDA DA throws an error when the SQL query returns no rows. Is this to be expected? Do I need to write seperate DTML methods that handle that case? I was hoping to just get no objects returned, so my #in tags would execute their #else clauses.
