Thank you, I tried this:
db.executesql("""set @num := 0, @type := '';
select type, variety, price
from (
select type, variety, price,
@num := if(@type = type, @num + 1, 1) as row_number,
@type := type as dummy
from fruits
order by type, price
) as x where x.row_number <= 2;""")But it returns a null.

Subject: [web2py] Re: Running multiple lines of SQL in executesql
Actually just surround your big long multi line SQL statement with triple
quotes and it will work fine. I do that all the time. No need for the \ at each
line break then either. You can declare and set your @variables all within one
executesql query too.

results in web2py (the variables don't get initialized), even though it works
from the mysql console. What am I doing wrong?
They don't work, even if I put the variable initialization in the same call.
This piece of SQL is from here:
