[REBOL] Elegant ideas someone?

From: kpeters:otaksoft at: 11-Aug-2007 16:21

In the function below (intended to be used with Nenad's MySQL driver) the newvalue & keyvalue may need to be framed by single quotes depending on the datatype one passes in. As newbie, I have found a rather dumb and lengthy solution that works. What I am after is an elegant, REBOL-esque way of achieving this? Any takers? Kai update-one-record: func[ "Returns False on error or affected row count on success" tablename [string!] fieldname [string!] newvalue [ block ] keyfieldname [string!] keyvalue [block!]] [ conn-error: try [ mysqlport: open omysql-url insert mysqlport [ { update ? set ? = ? where ? = ? } tablename fieldname newvalue keyfieldname keyvalue ] affected-rows: mysqlport/locals/matched-rows close mysqlport false ; no error if we get here! ] either error? conn-error [ conn-error: disarm conn-error stat-upd sbar reform [ "MySQL-Connection error: " conn-error/arg1 ] false ] [ affected-rows ] ]
