Hi I'm somewhat new to Python and SQLObject (but have worked with ORM Wrappers before with Java). I have inherited a project which uses the above extensively. I have a somewhat novice question but couldn't find obvious answers so am posting here.
So the code I have basically does a .select() on a merge table and creates an output file (Comma separated say) with columns I'm interested in . I want to now additionally mark in this file - a. duplicates that occur in succession only b. objects that have certain values for a column So for eg, if row X and row Y are duplicates, I want to have in the file a single row with the letter D at the end to mark Duplicate. Whats the best way of doing this? I thought of this pseudo-code: for x in merge_table.select() retrieve next row y ->> (how??) if x==y //duplicate add x to file & mark appropriately in file else add x and y to file reposition cursor correctly to next unread row (if needed, how?) I was trying to find a way to do this with SQLObject but couldn't easily figure out. I would like to avoid complicated cursor logic if I can help it. Any pointers would be appreciated. TIA, CV
