Receiving info after committing transaction |

Bill | Hi all,
I'm implementing the database API on a IIS web server via a C# interface to an EWB app. Sometimes I need to insert a row in a table and I need the db generated key (often but not always an integer ID) to insert other related rows in other tables where that is a foreign key. Waiting for a EWB release where there could be mapped an ID on a return value for OnAfterCommit event I think the only way is executing a two phase commit and emulate an error with a conventional error code sending needed data (the ID) in the html response body and trace (and manage) it on OnCommitError event with a CancelPendingRequests call after managed. Any different ideas to give a more clean solution? Any other solutions? Many thanks in advance |

Walter Matte Tactical Business Corporation | Sometimes I have a table that holds the next id on server and use a server request to get the next id before I do the insert in EWB (so have I have a unique id.) Sometimes if I know the table does not get many inserts I use a 64 bit integer as a unique primary key and just use Now to get a large int. id := integer(now); Sometimes I have the unique primary key as a Guid and set a Gid in EWB using an external JavaScript to generate it. Sometimes I make a ServerRequest to a procedure that will insert the record and send me back the unique id which I then use to loadrows for that table for the user to add the data to fields.

> passing primary key back Well, I didn't do any of the EWB mode of database transfer, but used JSON for all my data back and forth. So when I posted an object, the API can return the ID as the result data. I used grids etc but I filled them manually. So it probably doesn't apply directly, but if you can give up the built in data transfers, then you can do what you want, given you are writing your own server code. -- Matthew Jones |

Tim Young [Elevate Software] Elevate Software, Inc. timyoung@elevatesoft.com | Bill,
This is something that is coming soon in EWB 3. It allows you to set up any SQL to echo any output parameters back to the client, so you can do this with identity/autoinc/generated columns, or any other column that you want. It's still asynchronous, which is a bit of a pain, but it will allow you to do what you want. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
