createNewTable

JSTableObject createNewTable (tableName)
Creates in this server a new table with the specified name.

Parameters

{String} tableName - The name of the table to create.

Returns

JSTableObject - JSTableObject created table.

var server = plugins.maintenance.getServer("example_data");
if (server)
{
	var table = server.createNewTable("new_table");
	if (table) {
		var pk = table.createNewColumn("new_table_id", JSColumn.INTEGER, 0);
		pk.rowIdentifierType = JSColumn.PK_COLUMN;
		if (server.synchronizeWithDB(table))
			application.output("New table created in the database.");
		else
			application.output("New table not created in database.");
	}
	else application.output("New table not created at all.");
}
 

dropTable

Boolean dropTable (tableName)
Drops the table with the specified name from this server.

Parameters

{String} tableName - The name of the table to drop.

Returns

Boolean - boolean success.

Sample

var server = plugins.maintenance.getServer("example_data");

	var result = server.dropTable("new_table");
	if (result)
		application.output("Table dropped.");
	else
		application.output("Table not dropped.");
}

	if (table) {
		var colNames = table.getColumnNames()
		application.output("Table has " + colNames.length + " columns.");
		for (var i=0; i<colNames.length; i++)
			application.output("Column " + i + ": " + colNames[i]);
	}
}
 

getTableNames

String[] getTableNames ()
Returns an array with the names of all tables in this server.

Returns

String[] - Array of String table names.

Sample

var server = plugins.maintenance.getServer("example_data");
if (server) {
	var tableNames = server.getTableNames();
	application.output("There are " + tableNames.length + " tables.");
	for (var i=0; i<tableNames.length; i++)
		application.output("Table " + i + ": " + tableNames[i]);
}
else {
	plugins.dialogs.showInfoDialog("Attention","Server 'example_data' cannot be found.","OK");
}
 

isValid

Boolean isValid ()

}
 

reloadDataModel

void reloadDataModel ()

Reloads the datamodel from the database, if changed externally or via rawSQL plugin.

This call is not needed after a call to synchronizeWithDB().

Returns

void

Sample

var server = plugins.maintenance.getServer("example_data");
var result = plugins.rawSQL.executeSQL("example_data", null, 'CREATE TABLE raw_table (raw_table_id INTEGER)');
if (result) {
	application.output("Table created through rawSQL plugin.");
	if (server) {
		server.reloadDataModel();
		// All existing JSTableObject/JSColumn object references are invalid now! Use getTable to get new ones.
		var table = server.getTable("raw_table");
		if (table) {
			var colNames = table.getColumnNames()
			application.output("Table has " + colNames.length + " columns.");
			for (var i=0; i<colNames.length; i++)
				application.output("Column " + i + ": " + colNames[i]);
		}
	}
}
else {
	application.output("Raw table creation failed: " + plugins.rawSQL.getException());
}
 

synchronizeWithDB

Boolean synchronizeWithDB (table)
Synchronizes a JSTable instance with the database. If columns were added to or removed from the JSTable instance, all these changes will now be persisted to the database.

Parameters

{JSTableObject} table - A JSTableObject instance that should be synchronized.

Returns

Boolean - boolean success.

Sample

var server = plugins.maintenance.getServer("example_data");
if (server)
{
	var table = server.createNewTable("new_table");
	if (table) {
		var pk = table.createNewColumn("new_table_id", JSColumn.INTEGER, 0);
		pk.rowIdentifierType = JSColumn.PK_COLUMN;
		if (server.synchronizeWithDB(table))
			application.output("New table created in the database.");
		else
			application.output("New table not created in database.");
	}
