Re: [Zope] REPOST: dtml-with doesn't work
Philip has already made it clear that this was not his problem, but
still,

Just a remark:

My experience is somewhat different: ZSQL methods in general *DO*
look at the namespace just like normal DTML methods, with two
exceptions:
1) The major one, is that Dieter's remark does describe (almost)
correctly the behavior of dtml-sqlvar and dtml-sqltest. These two
tags only look at a very limited local namespace, initialized with the
REQUEST and passed arguments; but even this namespace may be modified,
*INSIDE* the ZSQL method, with dtml-in and dtml-let. However,
other tags behave quite normally -- which means that a lot of the
problems can be bypassed by thoughtful use of dtml-var, especially
using the sql_quote modifier (BTW, it is by virtue of this that you
can call other methods -- even other ZSQL methods -- from within a
ZSQL method).
2) Changing REQUEST does *not* update the local namespace, that is,
within a ZSQL method,
dtml-call "REQUEST.set('some_var', 17)"
dtml-var some_var
doesn't work; but
dtml-var "REQUEST['some_var']"
Does.
Hope this helps,
Shai.

ZSQL methods do *NOT* look at the DTML(!) namespace.
They do look at REQUEST or (exclusive) explicitly provided keyword arguments
*AND* they can acquire names from the ZSQL methods and its
acquisition context.

I see, I should have been more specific.
ZSQL methods do not look at the DTML namespace of the *CALLING*
document template.
They use a document template (to generate the query)
which is evaluated in a (newly creatd) namespace.
Of cause, it looks at this DTML namespace in the usual
way. And all DTML tags are available to extend this namespace.
However,
other tags behave quite normally -- which means that a lot of the
problems can be bypassed by thoughtful use of dtml-var, especially
using the sql_quote modifier (BTW, it is by virtue of this that you
can call other methods -- even other ZSQL methods -- from within a
ZSQL method).
There is no difference with respect to name lookup
between "dtml-var" and "dtml-sqlvar" or the other "dtml-sql*" tags.
They *ALL* work with the same namespace.
2) Changing REQUEST does *not* update the local namespace, that is,
within a ZSQL method,
That is right.
The reason is that "REQUEST" is not part of the newly
generated namespace in which the ZSQL template is evaluated.
"REQUEST" is acquired.
dtml-call "REQUEST.set('some_var', 17)"
dtml-var some_var
doesn't work; but
dtml-var "REQUEST['some_var']"
Does.

Re: [Zope] REPOST: dtml-with doesn't work
Usually, I complain that problem reports are too terse. But, your's was very big, such that I did not read it carefully. It is very difficult to get it right for everyone. Just a remark: SQL methods do *NOT* look at the DTML namespace *AT ALL*, just at REQUEST (or the expliciitly passed keyword arguments). Thus, "dtml-with", "dtml-let" and friends are all ineffective with respect to ZSQL methods. May be, that explains your problem. May be not, as I am not sure, that you need the values indeed inside a ZSQL method. I can assure you: "dtml-with" does work.
