if you are searching for a value in an array...converting to a string and
then searching for that string may have a few properties you might not
want...
first of all, converting the array to a string does take some extra time to
process.
Secondly there is a difference in how a computer checks for
In most cases you wouldn't want to delete the records then insert the ones
that were checked. That would require 1 delete action and a number of insert
actions in a loop instead of 2 update actions. And there may be more data in
the table than just the checked status.
You could set all the records

To convert an array to a string you can use the <@var> tag.
<@var yourArray aprefix='' asuffix='' rprefix='' rsuffix='' cprefix=''

This will append all the values together in one string.
To check if a value is in the array use
<@if expr="@@yourArray contains @@yourString">

well you can always do this to take an array of text and turn it into a
string...
<@VAR local$MyArray type=text APrefix='' ASuffix='' RPrefix='' RSuffix=''

you can also use the <@filter> tag to find values your looking for in arrays

Easier: just delete them all for that item, and write back the ones that ARE
checked.

Unchecks aren't that hard. Make a group of hidden input fields called

You did not say what database you are using. As someone else mentioned,
some DB products have this capability built in. If you are using
Oracle, you can use the 'START WITH... CONNECT BY...' clause as part of
the select statement.

Hi Rick,
There is no need to loop to achieve this. You should give all your checkboxes the same
name, say myBoxes, then set the value attribute of each checkbox to the database id of
the corresponding record. You can then use <@arg myBoxes type="array"> to retrieve an
array of database ids of c
Hello Eric,
What you want to do is certainly sane, a perfectly reasonable request of a data
retrieval language. You can most certainly join a table to itself, using an alias join
on id = parentId. If you require arbitrary levels of nesting of topics, then you will
need a proper recursive query.
Direct DBMS is not required. Once you get this, it's pretty easy. The
form fields end up with different names for each row.
<@ARG ID_1>
<@ARG Paid_1>
<@ARG ID_2>
<@ARG Paid_2>
<@ARG ID_3>
<@ARG Paid_3>
<@ARG ID_4>
<@ARG Paid_4>
I use a hidden field to store the number of rows.
<@ARG Record_Numbe
It's understandable. We all pretty much started with the tools and it's

Looking at it from the builder's way of doing things, you'll have a set of

The one word answer is ... loops.
What you need to do is create loops both on the form and in the processing
of the update action. The first loop is easy because it already exists in
the form of the <@ROWS> loop. You need to add something to uniquely identify
each field. Inside the <@ROWS> loop, i
