Answer works when tested on sqlite but does not work for Mongodb.... In [4]: db.Tasks.email != [ ] Creates the mongo query : Out[4]: <Query {'email': {'$ne': ' ' }}> In mongo shell: > db.Tasks.find().count() 1195 < total number of records. > db.Tasks.find({'email': {'$ne': ' ' }}).count() 1195 The correct query should be: >db.Tasks.find({email: {$ne: [ ] }}).count() 108 But looks like the DAL is converting empty list to empty string instead. Is there anyway to force the DAL to retain the empty list when handed off to mongodb? -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
