Methods Details

acquireLock(foundset, recordIndex)

Request lock(s) for a foundset, can be a normal or related foundset.
The record_index can be -1 to lock all rows, 0 to lock the current row, or a specific row of > 0
Optionally name the lock(s) so that it can be referenced it in releaseAllLocks()

By default this call doesn't try to lock records in the database itself. But the locks are tracked  in the Servoy Server itself.
If you need database locking because of others applications that can also read the table or you use the Broadcaster plugin for more then 1 servoy server on the same database,
you need to set the property 'servoy.record.lock.lockInDB' in the servoy.properties file to true. This will try to do a 'select for update no wait' on databases that supports this.
This can only be used together with a transaction, so before you aquire the lock a transaction must be started so the database lock is held on to the transaction connection.

Do not change the record data before that, because aquirelock will make sure with a select from the database that it really has the latest data.
If there are changes to columns that you changed before calling aquireLock these changes will be reverted, so you don't change something again that you didn't see really the value of first.

returns true if the lock could be acquired.

Parameters

JSFoundSet foundset The JSFoundset to get the lock for
Number recordIndex The record index which should be locked.

Returns

Boolean true if the lock could be acquired.

if(!success)
{
	plugins.dialogs.showWarningDialog('Alert','Failed to get a lock','OK');
}

acquireLock(foundset, recordIndex, lockName)

Request lock(s) for a foundset, can be a normal or related foundset.
The record_index can be -1 to lock all rows, 0 to lock the current row, or a specific row of > 0

For query-based filters, a row of 2 fields per filter are returned.
The "columns" of a row from this array are: query, filtername

Parameters

String serverName The name of the database server connection.
String filterName The filter name for which to get the array.

Returns

Array Two dimensional array.

getViewFoundSet(name)

Returns a ViewFoundSet that was created by getViewFoundSet(name,query,register) with the registerd boolean "true".
So it is registered and remembered by the system to use in Forms.
You can't get ViewFounSet back that are not registered to the system, those are not remembered.

Parameters

String name The name to lookup a ViewFoundSet for

Returns

JSFoundSet A new ViewFoundSet for that query.

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient

Sample

 

getViewFoundSet(name, query)

Returns a foundset object for a specified query.
This just creates one without keeping any reference to it, you have to use the getViewFoundSet(name,query,true) for registering it to the system.
ViewFoundSets are different then normal foundsets because they have a lot less methods, stuff like newRecord/deleteRecord don't work.

If you query the pk with the columns that you display for the main or join tables then those columns can be updated and through ViewFoundSet#save(ViewRecord) they can be saved.
If there are changes in ViewRecords of this ViewFoundSet then databroadcast configurations that need to load new data won't do the query right away (only after the save)
Also loading more (the next chunksize) will not be done. This is because the ViewRecord on an index can be completely changed. We can't track those.

Also databroadcast can be enabled by calling one of the ViewFoundSet#enableDatabroadcastFor(QBTableClause) to listen for that specific table (main or joins).
Flags can be used to control what exactly should be monitored, some don't cost a lot of overhead others have to do a full re-query to see the changes.

Parameters

String name The name given to this foundset (will create a datasource url like view:[name])
QBSelect query The query to get the ViewFoundSet for.

Returns

JSFoundSet A new ViewFoundSet for that query.

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient

Sample

// create a new view foundset and also directly register it to the system so they can be picked up by forms if a form has the view datasource.
/** @type {ViewFoundSet<view:myname>} */
var vfs = databaseManager.getViewFoundSet('myname', query, true)

getViewFoundSet(name, query, register)

Returns a foundset object for a specified query. If the boolean register is true then the system will register it to the system so it can be used in Forms.
Also getViewFoundSet(name) will then return that instance.
ViewFoundSets are different then normal foundsets because they have a lot less methods, stuff like newRecord/deleteRecord don't work.

If you query the pk with the columns that you display for the main or join tables then those columns can be updated and through ViewFoundSet#save(ViewRecord) they can be saved.
If there are changes in ViewRecords of this ViewFoundSet then databroadcast configurations that need to load new data won't do the query right away (only after the save)
Also loading more (the next chunksize) will not be done. This is because the ViewRecord on an index can be completely changed. We can't track those.

Also databroadcast can be enabled by calling one of the ViewFoundSet#enableDatabroadcastFor(QBTableClause) to listen for that specific table (main or joins).
Flags can be used to control what exactly should be monitored, some don't cost a lot of overhead others have to do a full re-query to see the changes.

if the register boolean is true, then the given ViewFoundSet is registered to the system so it is picked up by forms that have this datasource (see viewFoundset.getDatasource() for the actual datasource string) assigned.
The form's foundset will then have a much more limited API, so a lot of things can't be done with it - e.g. newRecord() or deleteRecords().
Also records can be updated in memory, so they are not fully read-only, but the developer is responsible for saving these changes to a persisted store. See also viewFoundset.save(...).

If the solution doesn't need this ViewFoundSet anymore and you did use register is true, please use ViewFoundSet.dispose() to clear and remove it from the system, because otherwise this
register call will keep/hold this foundset in memory (for that datasource string to work) forever.

Parameters

String name The name given to this foundset (will create a datasource url like view:[name])
QBSelect query The query to get the ViewFoundSet for.
Boolean register Register the created ViewFoundSet to the system so it can be used by forms.

Returns

JSFoundSet A new JSFoundset for that query.

mergeRecords(sourceRecord, combinedDestinationRecord)

Merge records from the same foundset, updates entire datamodel (via foreign type on columns) with destination
record pk, deletes source record. Do use a transaction!

This function is very handy in situations where duplicate data exists. It allows you to merge the two records
and move all related records in one go. Say the source_record is "Ikea" and the combined_destination_record is "IKEA", the
"Ikea" record is deleted and all records related to it (think of contacts and orders, for instance) will be related
to the "IKEA" record.

The function takes an optional array of column names. If provided, the data in the named columns will be copied
from source_record to combined_destination_record.

Note that it is essential for both records to originate from the same foundset, as shown in the sample code.

Parameters

JSRecord sourceRecord The source JSRecord to copy from.
JSRecord combinedDestinationRecord The target/destination JSRecord to copy into.

Returns

Boolean true if the records could me merged.

recalculate(foundsetOrRecord)

Can be used to recalculate a specified record or all rows in the specified foundset.
May be necessary when data is changed from outside of servoy, or when there is data changed inside servoy
but records with calculations depending on that data where not loaded so not updated and you need to update
the stored calculation values because you are depending on that with queries or aggregates.

Parameters

Object foundsetOrRecord JSFoundset or JSRecord to recalculate.

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient

Sample

// recalculate one record from a foundset.
databaseManager.recalculate(foundset.getRecord(1));
// recalculate all records from the foundset.
// please use with care, this can be expensive!
//databaseManager.recalculate(foundset);

refreshRecordFromDatabase(foundset, index)

Flushes the client data cache and requeries the data for a record (based on the record index) in a foundset or all records in the foundset.
Used where a program external to Servoy has modified the database record.
Giving 0 as the index will just refresh he selected record.

If the index is -1 then this method will refresh all the records of the datasource of the foundset, it does this by flusing all the records and the row data of the full datasource
So everything is reloaded fully fresh when the foundsets will requery for there data.
WARNING: Don't hold any references to JSRecord objects from before this call with -1 index. Those records objects are all in an invalid state because of the underlying data flush.

Parameters

Object foundset The JSFoundset to refresh
Number index The index of the JSRecord that must be refreshed (or -1 for all).

Returns

Boolean true if the refresh was done.

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient

Sample

//refresh the second record from the foundset.

removeDataSource(uri)

Free resources allocated for a previously created data source.
NOTE: make sure this datasource is not using anymore in forms or components!
because the inmemory table and the foundset build on that table are all just removed.

Normally this will be automatically done if a client is removed/shutdown, but if constantly new stuff is created
or you don't need it anymore from what the client currently is using or seeing, then removing this will clean up memory.

Parameters

String uri ;

//databaseManager.revertEditedRecords(foundset.getSelectedRecord()); // rollback only one record
databaseManager.setAutoSave(true)

rollbackTransaction()

Rollback a transaction started by databaseManager.startTransaction().
Note that when autosave is false, revertEditedRecords() will not handle deleted records, while rollbackTransaction() does.
Also, rollbackEditedRecords() is called before rolling back the transaction see rollbackTransaction(boolean) to controll that behavior
and saved records within the transactions are restored to the database values, so user input is lost, to control this see rollbackTransaction(boolean,boolean)

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient

Sample

// starts a database transaction

{
	databaseManager.rollbackTransaction();
}

rollbackTransaction(rollbackEdited)

Rollback a transaction started by databaseManager.startTransaction().
Note that when autosave is false, revertEditedRecords() will not handle deleted records, while rollbackTransaction() does.
Also, saved records within the transactions are restored to the database values, so user input is lost, to controll this see rollbackTransaction(boolean,boolean)

Parameters

Boolean rollbackEdited call rollbackEditedRecords() before rolling back the transaction

Sample

// starts a database transaction

{
	databaseManager.rollbackTransaction();
}

rollbackTransaction(rollbackEdited, revertSavedRecords)

Rollback a transaction started by databaseManager.startTransaction().
Note that when autosave is false, revertEditedRecords() will not handle deleted records, while rollbackTransaction() does.

Parameters

Boolean rollbackEdited call rollbackEditedRecords() before rolling back the transaction
Boolean revertSavedRecords if false then all records in the transaction do keep the user input and are back in the edited records list. Note that if the pks of such a record are no longer used by it's foundset (find/search or load by query or ...) it will just be rolled-back as it can't be put in editing records list.

	databaseManager.rollbackTransaction();
}

saveData()

Saves all outstanding (unsaved) data and exits the current record.
Optionally, by specifying a record or foundset, can save a single record or all records from foundset instead of all the data.
Since Servoy 8.3 saveData with null parameter does not call saveData() as fallback, it just returns false.

NOTE: The fields focus may be lost in user interface in order to determine the edits.
		 SaveData called from table events (like afterRecordInsert) is only partially supported depeding on how first saveData (that triggers the event) is called.
		 If first saveData is called with no arguments, all saveData from table events are returning immediatelly with true value and records will be saved as part of first save.
      If first saveData is called with record(s) as arguments, saveData from table event will try to save record(s) from arguments that are different than those in first call.
      SaveData with no arguments inside table events will always return true without saving anything.

Turnoff the initial form foundset record loading, set this in the solution open method.
Simular to calling foundset.clear() in the form's onload event.

NOTE: When the foundset record loading is turned off, controller.find or controller.loadAllRecords must be called to display the records

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient

Sample

//this has to be called in the solution open method
databaseManager.setCreateEmptyFormFoundsets()

startTransaction()

Start a database transaction.
If you want to avoid round trips to the server or avoid the posibility of blocking other clients
because of your pending changes, you can use databaseManager.setAutoSave(false/true) and databaseManager.rollbackEditedRecords().

startTransaction, commit/rollbackTransacton() does support rollbacking of record deletes which autoSave = false doesnt support.

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient

Sample

// starts a database transaction
databaseManager.startTransaction()
//Now let users input data

//when data has been entered do a commit or rollback if the data entry is canceld or the the commit did fail.
if (cancel || !databaseManager.commitTransaction())
{
	databaseManager.rollbackTransaction();
}

switchServer(sourceName, destinationName)

Switches a named server to another named server with the same datamodel (recommended to be used in an onOpen method for a solution).
return true if successful.
Note that this only works if source and destination server are of the same database type.

Parameters

String sourceName The name of the source database server connection
String destinationName The name of the destination database server connection.

Returns

Boolean true if the switch could be done.

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient

Sample

//dynamically changes a server for the entire solution, destination database server must contain the same tables/columns!
//will fail if there is a lock, transaction , if repository_server is used or if destination server is invalid
//in the solution keep using the sourceName every where to reference the server!
var success = databaseManager.switchServer('crm', 'crm1')

updateTableFilterParam(serverName, filterName, query)

Updates a previously defined table filter. Server/Table should not be changed.

Parameters

String serverName The name of the database server connection.
String filterName The name of the filter that should be updated.
QBSelect query condition to filter on.

Returns

Boolean true if the filter could be updated.

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient

Sample

var success = databaseManager.updateTableFilterParam('admin', 'higNumberedMessagesRule', query)

updateTableFilterParam(serverName, filterName, tableName, dataprovider, operator, value)

Updates a filter with a new condition. The server/table name should be unchanged.

Parameters

String serverName The name of the database server connection for the specified table name.
String filterName The name of the filter that should be updated.
String tableName The name of the specified table.
String dataprovider A specified dataprovider column name.
String operator One of "=, <, >, >=, <=, !=, LIKE, or IN" optionally augmented with modifiers "#" (ignore case) or "^||" (or-is-null), prefix with "sql:" to allow the value to be interpreted as a custom query.
Object value The specified filter value.

Returns

Boolean true if the tablefilter could be updated.

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient

Sample

databaseManager.updateTableFilterParam('database', 'myfilter', 'your_i18n_table', 'message_variant', 'in', [1, 2])

validate(record)

Validates the given record, it runs first the method that is attached to the entity event "onValidate".
Then it will call also the entity events "onInsert" or "onUpdate" depending if the record is new or an update.
All those methods do get a parameter JSRecordMarkers where the problems can be reported against.

All columns are then also null/empty checked and if they are and the Column is marked as "not null" an error will be
added with the message key "servoy.record.error.null.not.allowed" for that column.

All changed columns are length checked and if the record values is bigger then what the database column can handle and
error will be added with the message key "servoy.record.error.columnSizeTooSmall" for that column.
Then all the column validators will be run over all the changed columns, The validators will also get the same JSRecordMarkers
to report problems to. So the global method validator now also has more parameters then just the value.

These 3 validations (null, length and column validators) are not by default done any more on change of the dataprovider itself.
This is controlled by the servoy property "servoy.execute.column.validators.only.on.validate_and_save" which can also be seen at
the TableEditor column validators page.

An extra state object can be given that will also be passed around if you want to have more state in the validation objects
(like giving some ui state so the entity methods know where you come from)

It will return a JSRecordMarkers when the record had validation problems

Parameters

JSRecord record The record to validate.

Returns

JSRecordMarkers Returns a JSRecordMarkers if the record has validation problems

    databaseManager.getFoundSet() :

    Please state in Wiki that created foundset is empty. (In other words : foundset.getSize() == 0)

    addTableFilterParams()

    Please clarify the use of these in terms of multiple filters on a single table, and the use of the pk in a SQL 'IN' statement.

    The fact that the same data provider cannot be used more than once on the same table without overwriting the table filter is surprising to say the least.

    Clarification on how, where and under what circumstances addTableFilterParam can and cannot be used is essential.
