Which DB are you using ? The generated SQL seems correct (For MySQL - is_active is set to 'T' for True and 'F' for False)
Can you run the (modified, if needed) raw SQL query on the DB ? Just examine various values under the f_test_is_a_clone column. That will give you idea as to what should be the "raw" SQL query - based on which you'll be able to figure out what you may be doing wrong in DAL query You can also try (db.t_tests.f_test_is_a_clone != True) -Mandar On Thursday, March 27, 2014 1:58:16 AM UTC+5:30, Avi A wrote: > > Now I use: > my_tests_list = db((db.t_tests.created_by == auth.user.id) & > (db.t_tests.f_test_is_a_clone > == False) ).select() > > > > and the list is still emply. > > SELECT t_tests.id, t_tests.f_test_name, t_tests.f_test_project, t_tests. > f_test_platform, t_tests.f_test_device, t_tests.f_test_milestone, t_tests. > f_test_env, t_tests.f_test_description, t_tests.f_test_case_link, t_tests. > f_test_is_a_clone, t_tests.is_active, t_tests.created_on, t_tests. > created_by, t_tests.modified_on, t_tests.modified_by FROM t_tests WHERE (( > t_tests.created_by = 1) AND (t_tests.f_test_is_a_clone = 'F')); > > > > thanks. > > > > On Wednesday, March 26, 2014 8:53:10 PM UTC+2, Avi A wrote: >> >> Thanks you all and for the debugging tip. :) >> >> On Wednesday, March 26, 2014 7:57:28 PM UTC+2, Anthony wrote: >>> >>> In DAL queries, you must use &, |, ==, and ~ rather than "and", "or", >>> "is", and "not".
