Massimo, Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned that am using the update_record as an example.
Basically, I want to figure out the return values for methods that deal with the CRUD operations on the database (via the DAL), and how to interpret if an operation succeeded or not. listing it as operation; success; failure insert; Row of the inserted data; Exception or the value 0 delete; 1; Exception or the value 0 update; Row of the updated data; Exception or the value 0 Is this assumption, of mine, correct? I wasn't able to determine these return values easily by looking at the code (am in the process of learning python, so maybe am missing something here), and neither was I able to see this documented in the api doc. Any suggestions? Thank you, Kiran On Saturday, February 15, 2014 9:54:08 AM UTC+5:30, Massimo Di Pierro wrote: > > yes.
