   I just fixed the docs in the Subversion. The change will be on the site
at the next update (probably after I release SQLObject 0.10).

orderBy = SQL function?

Is there some way of reliably using the orderBy parameter with
something other than a simple column, like a SQL function?  Right now
I do something like the following (where sbtable is
sqlobject.sqlbuilder.table):

class Contact (SQLObject):
    class sqlmeta:
        defaultOrder = \
               func.CONCAT(func.IFNULL(sbTable.contacts.last_name, ""),
                           func.IFNULL(sbTable.contacts.first_name, ""),
                           func.IFNULL(sbTable.contacts.organization, ""))

While this works for queries on this table alone, as soon as I try
refer to the table from another SQLObject class via a MultipleJoin
with no orderBy parameter I get an AttributeError (SQLCall instance
has no attribute '__getitem__'  in sqlobject/joins.py:100).  Setting
orderBy=None in the MultipleJoin declaration clears it up, but of
course result ordering is hosed at that point.

Are SQL functions not allowed as orderBy parameters in all cases?
Does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks,
Barry

   Use SQLMultipleJoin instead of MultipleJoin. The difference is that
MultipleJoin returns a list (that is sorted by SQLObject in Python, hence
orderBy can be only a name of a column) where SQLMultipleJoin returns
whatever .select() returns (an instance of SelectResult class) which passes
orderBy to SQL.

Why can't you let the database server take care of locking things as needed? 
I have applications used by multiple users in multiple processes (web) and
the database does all what is needed.  It really feels like if there were
several desktop applications and all of them worked simultaneously.

It should probably be a problem in your locking mechanism...

> I dont find any help in SQLObject site about any syntax on timeout

Google give some hints of using other modules to have this implemented.  But
I still believe that it would be better to let the database handle that.

   By this error I can guess you are using SQLite as the backend. I don't
know a way to fix or overcome the problem with SQLite.
   I have been developing a few commercial programs that use SQLObject. For
small customer where there are only 1 or 2 clients applications I use
SQLite as the backend. But for larger installations where I need to install
more client applications connected to one backend I use a real database
server. I use PostgreSQL but you can use whatever suites your needs
- PostgreSQL or MySQL, e.g.

You can "fix" the broken database by using sqlite's `.output FILENAME`
followed by `.dump` to output all the data, then read it back into a
blank sqlite database with `sqlite newdatabase.sqlite < FILENAME`.

These sort of problems are why I started just using a test psql database
for developing with, rather than sqlite :)

There is a parameter to SQLite to wait for the lock for a while. Just pass
timeout=something when creating the SQLite connection, for example:
sqlite:///....?timeout=5000
If you want it to wait 5 seconds before raising the database locked
exception.

It seems that this parameter is still undocumented :)

   It never helped me. Probably I had been doing something wrong.

Thanks Oleg, that works!  I don't think the documentation had anything
to say about the way that relates to orderBy - I suppose I should
spend more quality time with the source.
