[Zope] <dtml-if> question

[TMGB]

I've tried searching the archives for <dtml-if> for an answer and with 
more than 500 results and subjects like 'Newbie question', 'problem', or 
just nothing at all, the first 50 did not even have <dtml-if> in them 
at all. I wonder if it did a search for '<dtml' and no 'if>' The 
results were at : 

http://www.egroups.com/search?type=mbox&query=%3cdtml-if%3e&listname=zope&start=26

Anyway, my question is, can I use <dtml-if> to compare a MySQL data 
value to a constant value such as (although these two haven't worked as
well as
other variations and combinations of these examples)

          <td><dtml-if <dtml-var add2faq>='Y'>
                 YES
              <dtml-else>
                 <form method="get" action="update_add2faq"><input
type="checkbox" name="pass_faq" value=<dtml-var ID>><input type="submit"
name="add2" value="YES"></form>
              </dtml-if>
          </td>

OR
          <td><dtml-if add2faq.value ='Y'>
                 YES
              <dtml-else>
                 <form method="get" action="update_add2faq"><input
type="checkbox" name="pass_faq" value=<dtml-var ID>><input type="submit"
name="add2" value="YES"></form>
              </dtml-if>
          </td>

The add2faq field is an enum of ('N','Y') in a MySQL table. And if I use 
<dtml-if add2faq> it is true for all values Y or N.

I've also looked at the documentation pages and didn't see any reference 
to using <dtml-if> outside of having just one variable argument.  Do I 
have to do a method that does an sql and then  returns one of two string
choices?

Thanx for any help you can give me.
Thoms
