Hi,
I have a list of names
namelist = ['Niels', 'Bob', 'Frank', 'Pat', 'Ann']
I'd like to remove all records from a table where the name field does not
have a name in the list.
For example if all the above exist in the table
Is there a function to do this or will I need to loop through each row in
the table. I was thinking something like this might work?
rows = db(db.people.name != namelist).select()
del db.mytable[rows]
