In the book, sum of selects is described as: Similarly, you can use the sum operator to add (sum) the values of a specific field from a group of records. As in the case of count, the result of a sum is retrieved via the storage object:
>>> sum = db.log.severity.sum() >>> print db().select(sum).first()[sum] 6 But I find that I get a key error when I do this. It appears that what is actually returned by the select() is <Row {'_extra': {'SUM("test1t"."item")': 6L}}> # and to print it I need to do print results["_extra"].values()[0] Is this a bug (presumably in DAL), a change from an obsoleted feature, or a mis-reading on my part? /dps -- 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.
