[Zope] Re: [Zope-dev] ZSQL using LIKE operator

[Jens Vagelpohl]

i never use sqlgroup. all my needs so far have been satisfied by simply
chaining SQL statements with AND or OR in between.

when you start using arguments to ZSQL methods you *must* provide it. you
can't leave it out. in your case i would set the argument to a default value
on the querying form that gets passed if the user does not provide another
argument. then you can use dtml-if to test the value inside the ZSQL method
and act accordingly.
