[Zope] ZMySQLDA and ZSQLMethods

[Phil Harris]

Andrew,

It does only return one row, but, and here's the rub of it all, to limit 
the number of rows returned, zope tries to use the native rdbms facilities.

Since MySQL has a LIMIT part to it's SELECT statement the sql that zope 
finally sends to MySQL looks like this:

SELECT last_inserted_id() LIMIT 1000;

Which is invalid as far as MySQL is concerned, *BUT* you actually want:

SELECT last_inserted_id();

with no LIMIT statement.

Zope does the limit bit regardless of how many rows would be returned, 
cos at the time it's building the sql statement it has no idea how many 
will be returned.  It does what we tell it to.

Setting the limit to 0 means that we want  no limit, therefore zope 
doesn't put the LIMIT 1000  onto the end of the sql.

daadaa :¬)

Hope that helps

Phil
