Folks,
Please help me.
So far what I have been doing is to generate Z Search Interface
statically. Ie., I have some Z SQL method, which typically looks
like:
select *
from mytable
and then I manually "add" Z Search Interface based on this Z SQL
method. I use resultant dtml method in the way I want. It works
quite well.
But now I want to do this dynamically. Namely, I have gotten
a dtml method that creates a Z SQL method. The output might
look something like:
select emp_id, phone, zip
from mytable
The portion at the right of select keyword is dynamic. It says
these three words because the user checked on these three check-
boxes. It could be that the user might select 5 column names
or 3 completely different ones. The point is that they are
created on the fly.
How would I do the query based on this Z SQL method? Is there
any method or something I can use to generate yet another dtml
method on the fly?
I'd appreciate any pointer.
Thanks very much.
