Data types
Could you provide a list with all data types?
- Good idea. I have added the page WikiDB/Data types, which covers the currently implemented core types. WikiDB includes an API for adding your own data types, e.g. you could add a URL data type which only accepts valid URLs, and automatically displays them as links. --HappyDog 18:39, 1 December 2006 (GMT)
Templated queries
I can declare data with a template, is there any way to pull data into a template?
Something like: <repeat table="Companies" template="Infobox company"></repeat>
It would look just like
{{Infobox company |name=Microsoft |founded=1492 |revenue=$8 }}
<data table="Companies" template="Infobox company"> name=Microsoft founded=1492 revenue=$8 </data>
