[Zope-DB] looping through

[Steve Spicklemire]

Hi Russell,

	I didn't see your original message, but to add rows to your DB you 
need to use an 'insert' query:

Here is a query that I've used to add rows to a table called 
Persons_Basic:

  insert into Persons_Basic  values (
<dtml-sqlvar personID type=string>,
<dtml-sqlvar firstName  type=string>,
<dtml-sqlvar lastName  type=string>,
<dtml-sqlvar birthDate  type=float>,
<dtml-sqlvar hairColor  type=string>)

personID, firstName, lastName, birthDate, and hairColor are all 
parameters of the query.
