- Z SQL Method - Add: Create new Z SQL Method
-
- Description
-
- This view allows you to create a new Z SQL Method.
-
- Controls
-
- 'ID' -- Specifies the id of the sql method.
-
- 'Title' -- Specifies the title of the sql method.
-
- 'Connection id' -- Select list that specifies the database
- connection on which the sql method operates.
-
- **Note:** If you change the ID of your DB Connection object, all
- the Z SQL Methods using this connection object will *NOT* be
- updated. You have to update all Methods one by one.
-
- 'Arguments' -- Allows you to specify a list of arguments that the sql
- method takes. The arguments should be separated by spaces or
- a newline in the field. Furthermore, you can specify the
- type of the argument as well as a default
- value.
-
- **Example:** 'title:string="No title!"', where 'title' is the
- attribute, 'string' is the type of the attribute, and '"No
- title!"' is the default value.
-
- 'Query template' --
-
- Text area that specifies the SQL query that will execute when
- this method is called. The query template can contain DTML
- markup to tailor the SQL statement to the arguments. There are
- three additional DTML tags called 'SQLVAR', 'SQLTEST', and
- 'SQLGROUP'. Please refer to their references get more details on
- how to use them in your SQL statement.
-
- **Note:** the SQL statement need not be a 'SELECT' query, it may
- be any valid SQL statement including an INSERT or UPDATE.
-
- **Important:** You can have several SQL statements in one ZSQL
- Method.
