copyMatchingFields

Copies all matching non empty columns (if overwrite boolean is given all columns except pk/ident, if array then all columns except pk and array names). The matching requires the properties and getter functions of the source to match those of the destination; for the getter functions, the 'get' will be removed and the remaining name will be converted to lowercase before attempting to match. Returns true if no error occurred. NOTE: This function could be used to store a copy of records in an archive table. Use the getRecord() function to get the record as an object. Before trying this example, please make sure that the foundsets have some records loaded:

Returns

Sample

otherfoundset.loadAllRecords();
for( var i = 1 ; i <= foundset.getSize() ; i++ )
{
	var srcRecord = foundset.getRecord(i);
	var destRecord = otherfoundset.getRecord(i);
	if (srcRecord == null || destRecord == null) break;
	databaseManager.copyMatchingFields(srcRecord,destRecord,true)
}
//saves any outstanding changes to the dest foundset
databaseManager.saveData();

//copying from a MailMessage JavaScript object
//var _msg = plugins.mail.receiveMail(login, password, true, 0, null, properties);
//if (_msg != null)
//{
//	controller.newRecord();
//	var srcObject = _msg[0];
//	var destRecord = foundset.getSelectedRecord();
//	databaseManager.copyMatchingFields(srcObject, destRecord, true);

createDataSourceByQuery

Performs a query and saves the result in a datasource. Will throw an exception if anything went wrong when executing the query. Column types in the datasource are inferred from the query result or can be explicitly specified. A datasource can be reused if the data has the same signature (column names and types). A new createDataSourceByQuery() call will clear the datasource contents from a previous call and insert the current data.

Returns

Sample

// select customer data for order 1234

createDataSourceByQuery

Performs a query and saves the result in a datasource. Will throw an exception if anything went wrong when executing the query. Column types in the datasource are inferred from the query result or can be explicitly specified. A datasource can be reused if the data has the same signature (column names and types). A new createDataSourceByQuery() call will clear the datasource contents from a previous call and insert the current data.

Returns

Sample

// select customer data for order 1234
var q = datasources.db.example_data.customers.createSelect()
q.result.add(q.columns.customer_id).add(q.columns.city).add(q.columns.country);
q.where.add(q.joins.customers_to_orders.columns.orderid.eq(1234));
var uri = databaseManager.createDataSourceByQuery('mydata', q, true, 999, null, ['customer_id']);

&nbsp;

mergeRecords

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.

Returns

Sample

databaseManager.mergeRecords(foundset.getRecord(1),foundset.getRecord(2));

&nbsp;

recalculate

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.

Returns

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);
&nbsp;

refreshRecordFromDatabase

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. Record index of -1 will refresh all records in the foundset and 0 the selected record.

Returns

Sample

//refresh the second record from the foundset.
databaseManager.refreshRecordFromDatabase(foundset,2)
//flushes all records in the related foundset  (-1 is or can be an expensive operation)
databaseManager.refreshRecordFromDatabase(order_to_orderdetails,-1);
&nbsp;

releaseAllLocks

Release all current locks the client has (optionally limited to named locks). return true if the locks are released.

Returns

Sample

databaseManager.releaseAllLocks('mylock')
&nbsp;

releaseAllLocks

Release all current locks the client has (optionally limited to named locks). return true if the locks are released.

Returns

Sample

databaseManager.releaseAllLocks('mylock')
&nbsp;

removeTableFilterParam

Removes a previously defined table filter.

Returns

Sample

var success = databaseManager.removeTableFilterParam('admin', 'higNumberedMessagesRule')
&nbsp;

revertEditedRecords

Reverts outstanding (not saved) in memory changes from edited records. Can specify a record or foundset as parameter to rollback. Best used in combination with the function databaseManager.setAutoSave() This does not include deletes, they do not honor the autosafe false flag so they cant be rollbacked by this call.

Returns

Sample

//Set autosave, if false then no saves will happen by the ui (not including deletes!). Until you call saveData or setAutoSave(true)
//reverts in mem the records that were edited and not yet saved. Best used in combination with autosave false.
databaseManager.setAutoSave(false)
//Now let users input data

//On save or cancel, when data has been entered:
if (cancel) databaseManager.revertEditedRecords()
//databaseManager.revertEditedRecords(foundset); // rollback all records from foundset
//databaseManager.revertEditedRecords(foundset.getSelectedRecord()); // rollback only one record
databaseManager.setAutoSave(true)
&nbsp;

//Now let users input data

//On save or cancel, when data has been entered:
if (cancel) databaseManager.revertEditedRecords()
//databaseManager.revertEditedRecords(foundset); // rollback all records from foundset
//databaseManager.revertEditedRecords(foundset.getSelectedRecord()); // rollback only one record
databaseManager.setAutoSave(true)
&nbsp;

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)

Returns

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();
}
&nbsp;

Also, saved records within the transactions are restored to the database values, so user input is lost, to controll this see rollbackTransaction(boolean,boolean)

Returns

Sample

// starts a database transaction
databaseManager.startTransaction()

if (cancel || !databaseManager.commitTransaction())
{

if (cancel || !databaseManager.commitTransaction())
{
	databaseManager.rollbackTransaction();
}
&nbsp;

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. 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.

Returns

Sample

databaseManager.saveData();
//databaseManager.saveData(foundset.getRecord(1));//save specific record
//databaseManager.saveData(foundset);//save all records from foundset

// when creating many records in a loop do a batch save on an interval as every 10 records (to save on memory and roundtrips)
// for (var recordIndex = 1; recordIndex <= 5000; recordIndex++)
// {
//		foundset.newRecord();
//		someColumn = recordIndex;
//		anotherColumn = "Index is: " + recordIndex;
//		if (recordIndex % 10 == 0) databaseManager.saveData();
// }
&nbsp;

//		anotherColumn = "Index is: " + recordIndex;
//		if (recordIndex % 10 == 0) databaseManager.saveData();
// }
&nbsp;

setAutoSave

Set autosave, if false then no saves will happen by the ui (not including deletes!). Until you call databaseManager.saveData() or setAutoSave(true) If you also want to be able to rollback deletes then you have to use databaseManager.startTransaction(). Because even if autosave is false deletes of records will be done.

Returns

Sample

//Rollbacks in mem the records that were edited and not yet saved. Best used in combination with autosave false.
databaseManager.setAutoSave(false)
//Now let users input data

//On save or cancel, when data has been entered:
if (cancel) databaseManager.rollbackEditedRecords()
databaseManager.setAutoSave(true)
&nbsp;

setCreateEmptyFormFoundsets

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

Returns

Sample

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

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.

Returns

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();
}
&nbsp;

switchServer

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.

Returns

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')
