<dtml-var "search(name=name)"> should do the job, if I understand your 
question right. (Works like in Python.)

And remember: If you want performance, use any OS other than Windoze. Two 
good free DBs are PostGres (currently in 7.0 beta 3, yeah!) and MySQL. If 
you go to the RedHat site and sign up, they will send you Oracle 8i for 
free (or do they not do that anymore). I think Sybase has a similar 
promotion program. For all these DBs you have Zope DB Adapters.

Zope is cool, the docs are a big issue (I know), but a lot of people work 
very hard to change that. If you have suggestions of how to improve them, 
mail: Zope Documentation Project <zdp@zope.org>. Thanks.

Stephan
