[Zope-dev] Sqlmethod use to query ZopeTime.

[Jim Sanford]

I use Visual FoxPro tables via ODBC.

Here is how I would write this:

select somedata from Mydatabase
where date()-regist_time < <dtml-sqlvar cal type=float>

Remember, most database backends have functions that can be used in the SQL query.   [ date() is a FoxPro function ]

Using ZopeTime would be more convoluted:

select  somedata from Mydatabase
where  ctod(<dtml-sqlvar "ZopeTime().mm()+'/'+ZopeTime().dd()+'/'+_.str(ZopeTime().year())" type=string>) - regist_time <
<dtml-sqlvar cal type=float>

[ctod() is a foxpro function]

Hi,all

select  somedata from Mydatabase
where
     ZopeTime() - Mydatabase.regist_time < cal  (Note: cal can be any data
from 0 to 365)
How to realize this?
 Thanks a lot!
