[Zope-DB] how to get all values if input is not defined?

[Cynthia Kiser]

You want to use sqltest with the type of "nb". From
http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/RelationalDatabases.stx 

type
    The data type of the value to be inserted. This attribute is required
    and may be one of string, int, float, or nb. The nb data type stands
    for "not blank" and indicates a string that must have a length that is
    greater than 0. When using the nb type, the sqltest tag will not
    render if the variable is an empty string.

So for you example, the code should look something like: 

select * from X 
  where <dtml-sqltest A op=eq type=nb>
