I agree. It is useful, but also limiting: e.g. To work with SQLFORM.grid/smartgrid/plugin_wiki's jqgrid you depend on DAL. I very often find that for complex queries I spend a lot of time experimenting to get the DAL version producing the same results as the raw SQL and there are cases where you just cannot do in DAL what can be done in SQL. In such case the use of tools like grid/smartgid is not possible in this stage. Regards Johann -- Because experiencing your loyal love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you.
