First of all, be easy on me, I'm new to coding and new to web2py. I am trying to get some data from the database with the following function:
def db_query(db_name, db_record, db_field, length): query = (db.db_name.Financial_Institution==auth.user.id)&(db.db_name.Completed==1) db_record = db(query).select(db_field) db_record = str(db_record[0]) ending = (len(db_record)) - 4 db_record = db_record[length:ending] return db_record Two problems 1. I'm having to parse the data because I need the value in the field, but can't seem to do it with the built in helpers. 2. This particular function won't let me pass a variable into the query, so db_name is coming across as 'db_name' and not 'the_value_I_put_in'. Can anyone help me with this? -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
