Hi All- making some progress here in week 1 with web2py... I wrote my postgres database first, and generated the model from it.. and that is working well .. But I have one *postgres* view, which is about 5 joins.. I dont yet understand.. Do i have to write this out in the web2py *QL, or can I execute sql and return it somehow .. (I do not yet understand how I specify response._vars and such for web2py views... - will re-read while researcing )
the ideal interface would be something like : choose a concat of date + company from a popup at the top.. or, heck, just the pkey for now get a collection of 250 formatted rows in a scrolling window below, per popup choice The rows are filled in by 3 joins from a central table to 3 fk_tables The popup choice fills in company info in the header.. thanks in advance for leads on this.. -Brian
