Method Details

createNewColumn

createNewColumn

(columnName, type, length, allowNull, pkColumn)

Creates a new column in this table. The name, type and length of the new column must be specified. For specifying the
type of the column, use the JSColumn constants. The column is not actually created in the database until this
table is synchronized with the database using the JSServer.synchronizeWithDB method. The "allowNull" optional argument specifies if the
column accepts null values (by default it does). The "pkColumn" optional argument specifies if the column is a primary key column (by default it is not).
The method returns a JSColumn instance that corresponds to the newly created column. If any error occurs and the column cannot be created, then the method
returns null.

Parameters
columnName
type
length
allowNull
pkColumn

Returns
JSColumn

Sample

var server = plugins.maintenance.getServer("example_data");
if (server)
{
	var table = server.createNewTable("users");
	if (table)
	{
		table.createNewColumn("id", JSColumn.INTEGER, 0, false, true);
		table.createNewColumn("name", JSColumn.TEXT, 100);
		table.createNewColumn("age", JSColumn.INTEGER, 0);
		table.createNewColumn("last_login", JSColumn.DATETIME, 0);
		var result = server.synchronizeWithDB(table);
		if (result) application.output("Table successfully created.");
		else application.output("Table not created.");
	}
}
