Being relatively new to Zope, I have what I hope is a simple question.
What would be the recommended solution for the following:
1. I have two tables, TABLE_MASTER, and TABLE_DETAIL.
2. For each row in TABLE_MASTER there is at least 1 row in TABLE_DETAIL
3. I want to insert 1 row in TABLE_MASTER and insert a variable number
of rows into TABLE_DETAIL in a single transaction. That is, if the
insert into TABLE_MASTER, or any of the potentially multiple inserts
into TABLE_DETAIL fail, the entire transaction is rolled back and no
insertion takes place in either table.
My questions is:
Can this be done with a single zsql method, or with zsql at all?
It seems like there should be a way to pass lists as the parameters and
have some sort of <dtml-in . . .> to iterate an insert statement for
each item in the passed list(s). In combination with My intention is
to call this zsql from a python class method that is part of a product
I am messing around with/creating.
Thanks for any info,
Richard
