I have a equipment table contains different equipments with model numbers
such as "SVP701", "SVP710", "SVP755". Another lookup table contains their
expected life time for model numbers such as "SVP7" for 10 years, "TPU3"
for 20 years. I want the wildcard "SVP7" match all "SVP701", "SVP710",
"SVP755", so that the lookup table is simple and short.
I think the query is like:
query = db.equipment.model.startswith(db.life_time.model)
Then, I want to put the query in the SQLFORM.grid to display results. Thanks
