Is there a method to check if a field is retrieved from the database? I created some logic which is being called from different locations. But from some locations, the table buffer was selected using a field list. I would like to only execute the query again if the field isn't retrieved. The queries to fetch the correct record are quite heavy and in most cases the field will be empty.
Common o;
o = args.caller();
if(!isFieldRetrievedFromDatabase(o.(fieldId)))
{
o = refetch(o);
}
//execute logic for o
Use o.isFieldDataRetrieved.
xRecord.isFieldDataRetrieved Method:
Checks whether the data of the given field has been retrieved
true if the data has been retrieved; otherwise, false.

I'm trying to run a query by using a user input. The query is run in a database which has multiple columns (practically a vlookup). The query is run and the output is an array of values.
How do I get the value of only one value (scalar output to put in alert)?
Thanks
I've tried to use methods familiar to java in order to call one field in an array without any success.
i.e. output_array[0]
// define input
// var custno = app.pageFragments.Add_SalesOrder.children.Form1.children.Form1Body.children.CustomerNo_Input;
var custno = 'ENC';
// define location of output
var outputWidget = app.pageFragments.Add_SalesOrder.children.Form1.children.Form1Body.children.CustomerName_Input;
// define datasource
var datasource = app.datasources.SalesOrder;
// query
datasource.query.filters.CustomerNo._startsWith = custno.value;
// load query
datasource.load();
alert(datasource[0]);
I expect to get the first entry in the array but instead I get 'Undefined'.
If you look at the datasource documentation, you'll find out that the datasource is NOT an array, but instead an object. Since you are looking for the first result of the query, then you should access the items property of the datasource. That is an array and you can then just access the zero index of the array to get what you need.
alert(datasource.items[0]);
I have a Google drive table data source which stores list of open positions. Now in the data source I've set "Query per size" field to 10 so that I can get 10 records per page. I've added a Pager as well to show pagination.
My query is I want to display like "Page 1 of X" to my end users and this X will vary based on certain search filters. What will the best way to achieve this in Appmaker?
I've tried counting total records in a data source as per below code but every time updating that with the search criteria and recounting it is not a proper solution.
//Server side
var newQuery = app.models.Company.newQuery();
var records = newQuery.run();
var totalCount =0;
for(var i=0;i<records.length;i++)
{
totalCount=totalCount+1;
}
return totalCount;
In case you don't have any filters in your table your server code can be as simple as
// Server script
function getPagesCount(pageSize) {
var recordsCount = app.models.MyModel.newQuery().run().length;
var pagesCount = Math.ceil(recordsCount / pageSize);
return pagesCount;
}
As an alternative you can consider creating Calculated Model with a single field PagesCount.
In case you have some filters associated with the table then you'll need to run the query for the pages number with exact same filters.
Most likely the entire setup will not work effectively with Drive Tables since there is no way to query records number without querying records themselves. With Cloud SQL data backend one can create Calculated SQL Model with lightweight native SQL query (here :PageSize is query parameter which should be equal to the query.limit of the actual datasource):
SELECT
Ceil(COUNT(1) / :PageSize) AS RecordsNumber
FROM
TableName
WHERE
...
I've achieved this using Calculated Model as suggested by Pavel.
Steps :
Create a calculated data source with one field count.
In that data source add one parameter searchQuery. This will contain users filter going forward. Currently I have only one search query in which user can search many things. So I've added one parameter only.
In this data source add following server script.
Code:
// Server script
function getTotalRecords(query) {
var receivedQuery = query.parameters.searchQuery;
// console.log('Received query:' + query.parameters.searchQuery);
var records = app.models.Company.newQuery();
records.parameters.SearchText = query.parameters.searchQuery;
if(receivedQuery !== null) {
records.where = '(Name contains? :SearchText or InternalId contains? ' +
':SearchText or LocationList contains? :SearchText )';
}
var recordsCount = records.run().length;
var calculatedModelRecords = [];
var draftRecord = app.models.RecordCount.newRecord();
draftRecord.count = ''+recordsCount;
calculatedModelRecords.push(draftRecord);
return calculatedModelRecords;
}
.
On the Appmaker page bind a label with this data source.
On search query/your filter applied event add following code which Reload this data source and assign value to Parameter.
// Client script
function updateRecordCount(newValue) {
var ds = app.datasources.RecordCount;
ds.query.parameters.searchQuery = newValue;
ds.unload();
ds.load();
}
I am fairly new in this realm and any help is appreciated
I have a table in Dynamodb database named Tenant as below:
"TenantId" is the hash primary key and I have no other keys. And I have a field named "IsDeleted" which is boolean
Table Structure
I am trying to run a query to get the record with specified "TenantId" while it is not deleted ("IsDeleted == 0")
I can get a correct result by running the following code: (returns 0 item)
var filter = new QueryFilter("TenantId", QueryOperator.Equal, "2235ed82-41ec-42b2-bd1c-d94fba2cf9cc");
filter.AddCondition("IsDeleted", QueryOperator.Equal, 0);
var dbTenant = await
_genericRepository.FromQueryAsync(new QueryOperationConfig
{
Filter = filter
}).GetRemainingAsync();
But no luck when I try to get it with following code snippet (It returns the item which is also deleted) (returns 1 item)
var queryFilter = new List<ScanCondition>();
var scanCondition = new ScanCondition("IsDeleted", ScanOperator.Equal, new object[]{0});
queryFilter.Add(scanCondition);
var dbTenant2 = await
_genericRepository.LoadAsync("2235ed82-41ec-42b2-bd1c-d94fba2cf9cc", new DynamoDBOperationConfig
{
QueryFilter = queryFilter,
ConditionalOperator = ConditionalOperatorValues.And
});
Any Idea why ScanCondition has no effect?
Later I also tried this: (throw exception)
var dbTenant2 = await
_genericRepository.QueryAsync("2235ed82-41ec-42b2-bd1c-d94fba2cf9cc", new DynamoDBOperationConfig()
{
QueryFilter = new List<ScanCondition>()
{
new ScanCondition("IsDeleted", ScanOperator.Equal, 0)
}
}).GetRemainingAsync();
It throws with: "Message": "Must have one range key or a GSI index defined for the table Tenants"
Why does it complain about Range key or Index? I'm calling
public AsyncSearch<T> QueryAsync<T>(object hashKeyValue, DynamoDBOperationConfig operationConfig = null);
You simply cant query a table only giving a single primary key (only hash key). Because there is one and only one item for that primary key. The result of the Query would be that still that single item, which is actually Load operation not Query. You can only query if you have composite primary key in this case (Hash (TenantID) and Range Key) or GSI (which doesn't impose key uniqueness therefore accepts duplicate keys on index).
The second code attempts to filter the Load. DynamoDBOperationConfig's QueryFilter has a description ...
// Summary:
// Query filter for the Query operation operation. Evaluates the query results and
// returns only the matching values. If you specify more than one condition, then
// by default all of the conditions must evaluate to true. To match only some conditions,
// set ConditionalOperator to Or. Note: Conditions must be against non-key properties.
So works only with Query operations
Edit: So after reading your comments on this...
I dont think there conditional expressions are for read operations. AWS documents indicates they are for put or update operations. However, not being entirely sure on this since I never needed to do a conditional Load. There is no such thing like CheckIfExists functionality as well in general. You have to read the item and see if it exists. Conditional load will still consume read throughput so your only advantage would be only NOT retrieving it in other words saving the bandwith (which is very negligible for single item).
My suggestion is read it and filter it in your application layer. Dont query for it. However what you can also do is if you very need it you can use TenantId as hashkey and isDeleted for range key. If you do so, you always have to query when you wanna get a tenant. With the query you can set rangeKey(isDeleted) to 0 or 1. This isnt how I would do it. As I said, would just read it and filter it at my application.
Another suggestion thing could be setting a GSI on isDeleted field and writing null when it is 0. This way you can only see that attribute in your table when its only 1. GSI on such attribute is called sparse index. Later if you need to get all the tenants that are deleted (isDeleted=1) you can simply scan that entire index without conditions. When you are writing null when its 0 dynamoDB wont put it in the index at the first place.
I have a Calculated Model, MonthlyTotalsByResource, displayed in a table that I am trying to query with a filter. First, I am retrieving the initial data from a regular Data Model called Allocations. I only wish to retrieve records from Allocations where the "Approved" field =true.
I also want to allow the user to filter MonthlyTotalsByResource by the "ManagerName" field. I have created a Dropdown widget with the Options as the full list of managers, and the Value is a query on the Calculated Model datasource:
#datasource.query.filters.ManagerName._equals
Here is the beginning of my code for getting the data for the Calculated Model MonthlyTotalsByResource from the regular data model Allocations, and where I filter for only "true" values in the Approved field. I am unclear what I should make the ManagerName filter set to in order for it to be binded to my Dropdown widget, or if I should add another query on the Calculated Model itself, instead of here on the regular Data Model.
function getMonthlyTotalsByResource_() {
var allRecordsQuery = app.models.Allocations.newQuery();
allRecordsQuery.filters.Approved._equals = true;
allRecordsQuery.filters.Resource.Manager.ManagerName._equals = ;
First things first, you need to introduce ManagerName parameter in your calculated datasource:
Once you add the parameter, you'll be able to set its value on client and read on server.
// dropdown widget's 'value' property binding
#datasources.MonthlyTotalsByResource.query.parameters.ManagerName
// server side code to get parameter value
var query = app.models.Allocations.newQuery();
...
query.filters.Resource.Manager.ManagerName._equals = query.parameters.ManagerName;

I got the following issue. I am trying to use the With or WithMany instruction
to retrieve a linked list of roles of an business relation via an
outer join. The referential integrity is in place on the database but
the primary key on the roles table is a composite key. That's the
reason i use an OuterJoin clause because I get an exception
otherwise .
When the query gets executed the results are exactly as I expected and
nicely filled with data. Nevertheless there are certain cases where
there are not yet roles available in the database. So I would expect
that in those cases the returned SimpleList (Roles below) would be
null, cause there is not data available. Instead Simple.Data returns a
SimpleLIst and if i expand the Dynamic View in debug then it says
'Empty: No further information on this object could be discovered".
Even if i traverse further down and i retrieve the first object in the
SimpleList, it even returns a SimpleRecord with the same information
as above in debug. Only after I request a property of the SimpleRecord
I get some information that the record was empty because then it
returns null.
To come to the bottom line... is there anybody who can tell me how to
check if a SimpleList or SimpleRecord is empty or null without
traversing down the hierarchy?
I am using Simple.Data 0.16.1.0 (due to policy i can't use the
beta yet)
Thanks in advance for reading the whole story...
Below is the code sample:
dynamic businessRelationRoles;
var query = db.Zakenrelaties.As("BusinessRelations")
.All()
.OuterJoin(db.Zakenrelaties_Rollen.As("Roles"), out businessRelationRoles)
.On(zr_ID: db.Zakenrelaties.zr_ID)
.With(businessRelationRoles);
foreach (var relation in query)
{
//Get the SimpleList as IEnumerable
IEnumerable<dynamic> roles = relation.Roles;
//Get the first available SimpleRecord
var role = roles.First();
//Check if any record was returned..This passes always?? Even if the SimpleList was empty
if (role != null)
{
//Get the id of the role. returns null if SimpleRecord was empty
var roleId = role.zrro_id;
}
}
Is there anybody who can help me out?
Belatedly, and for information purposes only, this was a bug and got fixed in the 0.17 (aka 1.0-RC0) release.
