Maybe def test(): rows = db(db.Table1.foo==db.Table2.foo).select(db.Table1.foo.with_alias( 'foo'), db.Table2.bar.with_alias('blah')) for row in rows: print row.foo, row.blah return locals()
should work. Another way - if you can rewrite tables definitions - is to use the "rname" field value. From the web2py book http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer?#Field-constructor > > *rname* provides the field was a "real name", a name for the field known > to the database adapter; when the field is used, it is the rname value > which is sent to the database. *The web2py name for the field is then > effectively an alias*. So with db.define_table('Table2', Field('blah', 'string', rname="bar") the query becomes db(db.Table1.foo==db.Table2.foo).select(db.Table1.foo, db.Table2.blah) If you want alias fields in a query without joins you could write rows = db(db.Table2.id>0).select('bar AS blah') Il giorno lunedì 28 agosto 2017 08:50:20 UTC+2, Brendan Barnwell ha scritto: > > On Monday, July 31, 2017 at 1:25:31 PM UTC-7, Paolo Caruccio wrote: >> >> Maybe the web2py book could help you: >> >> >> http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer?search=with_alias#Self-Reference-and-aliases >> >> > That appears to only be talking about using aliases for tables, and > specifically to be able to create and query tables that reference one > another.
