SQL Methods behave like methods of the folders they are accessed in. In particular, they can be used from other methods, like Documents, ExternalMethods, and even other SQL Methods. Database methods support the Searchable Object Interface. Search interface wizards can be used to build user interfaces to them. They can be used in joins and unions. They provide meta-data about their input parameters and result data. For more information, see the searchable-object interface specification. Database methods support URL traversal to access and invoke methods on individual record objects. For example, suppose you had an 'employees' database method that took a single argument 'employee_id'. Suppose that employees had a 'service_record' method (defined in a record class or acquired from a folder). The 'service_record' method could be accessed with a URL like:: employees/employee_id/1234/service_record Search results are returned as Record objects. The schema of a Record objects matches the schema of the table queried in the search. """ __constructor__=manage_addZSQLMethod def __call__(REQUEST=None, **kw): """ Call the ZSQLMethod. The arguments to the method should be passed via keyword arguments, or in a single mapping object. If no arguments are given, and if the method was invoked through the Web, then the method will try to acquire and use the Web REQUEST object as the argument mapping. The returned value is a sequence of record objects. """ def manage_edit(title,connection_id,arguments,template): """ Change database method properties.
