On my web site, I have made a "News" page. The "News" items themselves
are listed as a "lines"-property named "Items" on the News folder:
date1;text1
date2;text2
...
They are accessed in a dtml-method:
------------------------
<dtml-var standard_html_header>
<h2><dtml-var title></h2>
<DL>
<dtml-in Items>
<dtml-let lin="_.string.split(_['sequence-item'],';')"
dat="lin[0]"
txt="lin[1]">
<P>
<DT><dtml-var dat></DT>
<DD><dtml-var txt></DD>
</P>
</dtml-let>
</dtml-in>
</DL>
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>
-------------------------
Since this is a small listing, this is still manageable. But: I do find the
";"-delimited fields a bit hackish, so I'm looking for a better way to
handle this kind of very simple tabular data.
Do I really have to go all the way to a proper relational database and
learn SQL? Or is there another way? If I do need to go with a real
database, do I have to pay attention to the "Demo Only" warnings in
GadFly?
Lots of questions from a python-loving-zope-newbie.....

Rob Hooft.
