Having an exists function would be great. I was trying to do the same
using CatalogQuery, but I found no way to check for Missing.Value, which
is the repr() of what's in the catalog's metadata field for objects that
don't have that attribute/function. I also ran into problems doing more
complex or'ing and and'ing, and I assume we'll have better luck with
ZOQLMethod for that.
I just tried out ZOQLMethod as well. Couldn't get it to work, but it
looks like really solid craftsmanship. I like the user-friendly way of
selecting base object and the complete syntax. :) Some questions:
1. I couldn't get any query to work. I keep getting
exceptions.TypeError
argument 2 to map() must be a sequence object
Here's an example query that I've tried
SELECT id
WHERE title == ''
RECURSIVE;
2. Is the ZCatalog searching implemented? How do I activate it?
3. Do you have any plans to implement JOIN?
The exists function would be very cool.
Keep up the great work. Hope this helps flush out some features :)
Bye,
