Here's the first cut of my patch to add different comparison operators to dtml-sqltest. This will allow you to write SQL methods like: SELECT * FROM bar WHERE <dtml-sqltest foo op=like type=string> which will generate code like this: SELECT * FROM bar WHERE foo like 'Baz%' You can also use all the other comparison operators like <, <=, >, >=, <> etc. You can get the patch at: http://www.zope.org/Members/hughe Comments, suggestions, bug-fixes welcome. Enjoy, Hugh
