[Zope-dev] usage of dtml-sqltest tag in Zsql method

[Anitha George]

Hi

    Someone please help me out with this:

I am passing a string in this format (215,216) from the python script to
the Zsql method.
The SQl query should have the following form:
    select * from employees where id in (215,216)
but is as follows:
    select * from employees where id in '(215,216)' which does not give the 
required result.The id is of data type string/nb. It doesnt accept integer 
values.


A sample usage is given in the Zope documentation
****************************************
select * from employees
<dtml-sqlgroup where>
  <dtml-sqltest salary op="gt" type="float" optional>
<dtml-and>
  <dtml-sqltest first type="nb" multiple optional>
<dtml-and>
  <dtml-sqltest last type="nb" multiple optional>
</dtml-sqlgroup>

If first=Bob and last=Smith, McDonald it renders:

select * from employees
where
(first='Bob'
  and
  last in ('Smith', 'McDonald')
)

*****************************************8
But it is not working when I tried it. I get the following result

select * from employees
where
(first='Bob'
  and
  last = 'Smith,McDonald'
)

Please help me out!!Is there any other type for declaring the database 
fields other than int,float,string and nb.I am using Zope version 2.5.1 . 
The documentation covers Zope 2.5.

Thanks
Anitha
