I have a very wide table with a hundred of similar named columns. The
number of columns is fixed, the names are hardwired, but still I don't want
to list all these columns manually. Well, I just add them at runtime, at
the first import of my model.py:
class Plate(SQLObject):
# regular columns...
# Layout
for row in CELL_IDXS:
for column in STRIP_IDXS:
Plate.sqlmeta.addColumn(StringCol(name="Layout" + '%s%s' % (row,
column),
length=255, default=None))
# Samples (IDs)
for row in CELL_IDXS:
for column in STRIP_IDXS:
Plate.sqlmeta.addColumn(IntCol(name="Sample" + '%s%s' % (row, column),
default=None))
Does it help?
Oleg.

Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
