Hello,
I am not sure if this is the right way to do this, but I am having real
problems in figuring it out, here is my z sql method:
id: sql_INSERT_business_address
arguments:business_name, business_url, street_name town county postcode
county_id
INSERT INTO business_name (business_name, business_url)
values (<dtml-sqlvar business_name type="string" >, <dtml-sqlvar
business_url type="string">);
<dtml-var sql_delimiter>
select last_value from business_name_business_name_seq as fk_business_id
<dtml-var sql_delimiter>
INSERT INTO business_address (street_name, town, county, postcode,
county_id, business_name_id)
values (<dtml-sqlvar street_name type="string">, <dtml-sqlvar town
type="string">, <dtml-sqlvar county type="string">, <dtml-sqlvar postcode
type="string">, <dtml-sqlvar county_id type="string">, <dtml-var
fk_business_id>);
But this does not work, and I get the following error:
KeyError: fk_business_id
I then added another sql method which called the last value
id: sequence_id_business_name
arguments:
select last_value from business_name_business_name_seq
and this gave me the following error:
ProgrammingError: ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "<"
INSERT INTO business_address (street_name, town, county, postcode,
county_id, business_name_id)
values ('dsfds', 'dfs', 'sdfsd', 'sdfsdf', 2,
<Shared.DC.ZRDB.Results.Results instance at 141d744>);
If I have a dtml method
<dtml-var sequence_id_business_name>
this will return Shared.DC.ZRDB.Results.Results instance at 141d744 - so I
guess this is where the problem is ;^(
So how do I get to select the last sequence id from and added as a value
into my second query.
many thanks
Norman
