[Zope] Get Column Names from SQL Query?

[Laurie Nason]

Excellent - this is exactly what I was looking for except that I didn't need
<dtml-with name="sqlMethod">
rather, I used
<dtml-with "sqlMethod">
Thanks again for the help.

Actually, that may not put the values under the right columns, try this
instead:

<table border="1">
<dtml-with name="sqlMethod">
    <dtml-in name="dictionaries">
        <dtml-if name="sequence-start">
            <tr>
            <dtml-in name="keys">
               <th>&dtml-sequence-item;</th>
            </dtml-in>
            <tr>
        </dtml-if>
        <tr>
        <dtml-in name="values">
            <td>&dtml-sequence-item;</td>
        </dtml-in>
        </tr>
    </dtml-in>
</dtml-with>
</table>
