Hi, Let's say that in a controller file there are three variables (a, b and c) each of them contains a string. In a model file there is a table called 'Table' that has three fields (a_id, b_id and c_id).
My question is how to: 1. Check in the database if there already is a 'Table'-object with an a_id that is equal to the a-string. 2. If statement 1 is false, then create a new 'Table'-object and put the a-string into a_id, the b-string into b_id and the c-string into c_id. I guess I should do something like this in the controller file: db = DAL(something) #is it necessary to define the db in the controller file as well? a="stringA" b="stringB" c="stringC" db.Table[0]=dict(name=a) db.Table[1]=dict(name=b) db.Table[2]=dict(name=c) This is perhaps a basic-level question, but I'm just a n00b. Thanks in advance for help!
