You can.

It is even prepared for you:

  "dtml-in" defines variables "previous-batches" and
  "next-batches" describing all previous and following
  batches.

It you do not like this prepared solution, you
can use "sequence-length", another "dtml-in" defined
variable, to access the length of the sequence.

[Zope] dtml-in: total??

2001-01-02 Thread Edwin Martin

Hello,

I'm making a generic DTML-method which shows a bar like
AltaVista does:

[ < previous] [1] [2] [3] [4] [next > ]

I need to know the number of rows the database returned.

In appendix A of the Zope book, I see I can use total-name etc.

How can I get the total number of rows, independent of
column names?

Can I do it without rewriting the SQL-queries?

Bye,
Edwin Martin.
