So doing some more routing around on the lists I saw this advice
FWIW you
might want to call the query or execute methods directly on the DA
connection object if they are supported.
Therefore my db connection object is
ado_db_connection. Modifying my code to the below and calling the
query
ok, thanks Duncan
ul
li tal:define=query nocall:here/testquery tal:repeat=result
python:query(id='IT')
span tal:replace=result/lastnamelastname goes here/span
/li
/ul
works! I went down a blind alley with calling the database adapter due to
confusion over the error message produced. Backs up my
ps for completeness
here is the testquery ZSQL which works fine when tested in the ZMI and
manually inputting the id variable.
select * from tblEmployees where department = (dtml-sqlvar id
type=string) order by 'location'
I have 'id' in the argument field
Thanks

The only point being backed up by this thread, IMO, is that Thou

1) don't make spaces around = in HTML attributes:
tal:define=query here/testquery
a mistake
2) Why do you use repeat['result'] ? Can you point us to documentation
where did you read it ?
tal:replace=result/firstname should work as expected or
tal:replace=python:result[
