Hi Igor, Hmm.. the "dictionaries" method is pretty simple. You could probably implement it yourself. Create a Python Script, and make its only parameter the results from you ZSQLMethod called "results" and do: r=[] a=r.append names=results.names() for row in results: d={} for n in names: d[n]=row[n] a(d) return r (basically stolen from Results.py of lib/python/Shared/DC/ZRDB) -steve On Wednesday, February 20, 2002, at 02:09 PM, Igor Leturia wrote:

You're right, Dieter, I'm using ZODBCDA. So now, to solve my problem I need to do do one of these two things: 1) Solve the bug in ZODBCDA, which I don't think I am capable of. Could you or anyone give me some help on it? 2) Use whatever ZODBCDA uses instead of dictionaries (I suppose Results returns the records in some field with another name). Does you or anyone know the name of the field ZODBCDA uses instead of dictionaries? Or is there a way to know the properties or fields of an object in Python? If there is, then I would use it to get the public properties or fields of the Results object and then I could try and see which of them holds the records of the query. Thanks in advance,

I am trying to use the "Results" variable returned by any ZSQL method in a python script, as shown in this how-to: http://www.zope.org/Members/spinwing/ZSQL_Results . The thing is I can access Results.names() and Results.data_dictionary() as shown in the examples there, but not Results.dictionaries(). It says that the property doesn't exist. Due to a bug, some database adapters (notably ZODBCDA) use a variant of the "Results" class that does not support "dictionaries"...
