observation: "db_name" is a table name. What do you expect to be returned by .select(db_field)? it is a list of rows, where row is a DAL object.
usually written like this: rows = db(query).select() It seems you haven't noticed this yet since your code uses a singular form "db_record". You then take the entire first element of this list (an entire row, or "record") and convert it to string. This is very definitely the hard way to do it. The row object allows very convenient access to fields which it contains. please see http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#select -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
