download rows

[Andrea Fae']

Hello, I need to create a page to download rows from a dataset to a file.

Is there any automatic possibility (embedded download function is related?) without creating a function and relative view?

Thank you

I'm explaining better.

I want to create a view with a button like "download" or something like it to generate a csv file from a select/query -> rows from database and after appears a dialog to select in which folder download the file

Thank you

I think that the folder dialog is done by the browser on the basis of content-type and content-disposition.  But my browsers tend to assume the default directory (%home%/Downloads) and just give me the save-or-open choice.

The download function in the welcome app is a good starting point, but it's optimized for downloading a file that's recorded in a database table.  What you want is more like what's in appadmin.py  ... see the csv() definition.
