[Zope-DB] Help !! Using ZMysqlDA from a Zope Product

[Alex Cowan]

Hmm I'm not sure exactly what you're asking.

Pulling data from a MySQL database with zope is relatively easy, you just
need a ZMysqlDB connection, a Z SQL Method and a DTML Document.

Once you have those you write the query you want in the Z SQL Method and in
the DTML Document is something like

<dtml-in ZSQLMethodname>
<dtml-var column1>
<dtml-var column2>
<dtml-var column3>
</dtml-in>

You can put html etc around the dtml tags to format the output as you want.
If you could write a bit more about exactly what you want (what you are
trying to do, what you are using) I may be able to help more.
