session = SQLForce.Session("sandbox") for row in session.select( "SELECT id, FirstName, LastName FROM Contact LIMIT 3"): print "First Name: " + row[1] print "Last Name: " + row[2]This works OK as long as each row is referenced in close proximity to the session.select() and not many columns are being selected.
When selecting a lot of columns, I found this technique to be error prone...so I introduced a form of select, session.selectRecords() that returns jython classes where the class attributes are set to the name of each column. Example:
session = SQLForce.Session("sandbox") for row in session.selectRecords( "SELECT id, name, account.name FROM Contact LIMIT 3"): print "Name: " + row.name print "Account: " + row.account.nameThe only trick to to use the same column name referenced in the SELECT statement. Naturally, a session.selectRecords2(sql, callback) form is also supplied.
That's it..a small change that makes code more readable.
