Thanks for both replies :).
So, if ``db().select(db.Record.Name)`` acts like a tuple, then I can
do something like this:
Names_in_db = db().select(db.Record.Name)
for Name in List_of_names:
if Name in Names_in_db:
#Update logic goes here
else:
#Insert logic goes here
Also, I have another question:
The belongs member function for DAL.Table.Field allows you to isolate
rows for which a particular field is in a given set of values.
Is there a short direct way to specify that you actually want to
isolate the rows for which a particular field is in the complement of
the set?
Likes (for example... actually, its pretty much what I'm trying to do
in my code):
db(db.Record.Group_id==ID & (!
db.Record.Name.belongs(List_of_names))).delete()
Note: The above syntax is not correct and gives an error, but it
illustrates what I'm trying to achieve.
