Re: [AOLSERVER] SQL placeholders
You can probably just steal the db code from OpenACS.

[AOLSERVER] SQL placeholders
Hi All,
Is it possible to have an SQL statement pre-written in a Tcl variable like this:
set adminop_sql {select * from tadminop where status = ?}
Then call this [ns_db select $db $adminop_sql 'A'], basically, is it
possible to pass values for SQL to use in place of the (?) ?
Thanks

What you're talking about is called a bind variable. The Oracle
driver (nsoracle) supports them, the PostgreSQL one (last I checked)
emulates them. The OpenACS db_* API (which is built on top of ns_db)
makes using bind variables easily, and OpenACS uses them extensively.
If I remember right, the AOLserver ns_db API itself does not include
any bind variable support, it is an extension offered by some
AOLserver database drivers and not by others. That's probably a
historical accident, it would be better, and should be feasible, for
ns_db to include bind variable support for all databases.

Re: [AOLSERVER] SQL placeholders
Ok, so how do I get this OpenACS db_* AP to work?
Do I have to add something is my config file?
How do I make the calls, is there some doc somewhere about this?
Thank you
