I must be expressing myself poorly. I'm saying that if the dal (and
sql) Row class had a method like this:
def column(self, colname):
(table, field) = colname.split('.')
return self[table][field]
I could do this (which is what jqGrid wants):
results = list()
for row in big_long_hairy_select_with_joins_and_stuff
vals=list()
for f in rows.colnames:
vals.append(row.column(f))
results.append(dict(id=row.column(rows.colnames[0]),cell=vals))
return dict(results=results)
Am I alone in thinking this is something the Row class should know how
to do, or is there some trivial way of doing this already?
It seems weird that no one else has run into this problem...
