[Zope-DB] Simple Question - How Do I Get A Z SQL Query Available To General Public

[Charlie Clark]

Hi Jim,

try using the pull-down product "Z Search Interface". It will generate a 
report PageTemplate for you which will generally be available for all to view 
unless it's in a restricted folder or you restrict it's "view" permission.

eek! I hate <dtml-sqlgroup> and <dtml-sqltest>: as a simple rule of thumb: 
use as much plain SQL as possible as this makes debugging a lot easier.

You should be happy that they can't usually see your ZSQL-methods.
