Re: [SQLObject] _get_ function

[Samir P. <sp...@ci...>]

Thanks for your reply Ian. If I create it as a method than I will lose power 
of retriving data by just calling field name. Currently I solve it this way: 
When I need to pass a value to a _get_ method, I am adding a different field 
to that object and initialzing it with value I want to pass. Then in my _get_ 
method I am checking whether that object has this new field, If it has this 
new field, I use that value like a paramenter value otherwise I am using 
default value. This way I can still retrive my field data by simply calling 
field name.
