RE: [BM V8i SS4] SQL command controled by GUI toggle (operation feature)?

Hi Crhis,

thanks a lot for your asnwer, I will study it and will let you know whether it works and can be used in the project.

In parallel I have discussed with the customer an option to split the table into two separate, one to be linked from DGN and second to be used by another application.

With regards,

Jan

Hello Jan,

Try using a feature property instead of an operation property for the SQL statement criteria.

In the attached simple example, a feature combo box property with a SQL domain list allows selection of an existing record. I ran this example with Map Connect.

After starting Widget placement, the user may enter a new Widget name or choose an existing Widget name from a combo box. The combo box is defined by a feature property “ExistingRowId” which has a SQL domain list. Note that I manually edited the XFM schema to set “ExistingRowId” property with attribute dbProp=”true” since the toggle button is read-only in the Geospatial Administrator user interface. I set this attribute so that the property is not written to the design file with the feature instance.

If “ExistingRowId” property has a value, then the insert statements are not executed and the DB linkage is built using the existing row mslink value.

If “ExistingRowId” property does not have a value, then the insert statements are executed and the DB linkage is built using the next available mslink value.

<insert useCriteria="!strlen("[ExistingRowId]")">INSERT INTO widget (MSLINK,name) VALUES ([widgetMslink=XFMNextMslink("widget")],'[name|NULL]')</insert>

<insert useCriteria="!strlen("[ExistingRowId]") && XFMIsAutoCommitOff()">COMMIT</insert>

</insertList>

<dbLink table="widget" linkType="OLEDB" infoProp="false" useCriteria="!strlen("[ExistingRowId]")">[widgetMslink]</dbLink>

<dbLink table="widget" linkType="OLEDB" infoProp="false" useCriteria="strlen("[ExistingRowId]")">[ExistingRowId]</dbLink>

</dbLinkList>

Just a thought: Maybe SQL statements are cached when project is loaded and at this time the operation feature has no value and no criterion is evaluated as valid, and when the placement command is restarted, SQLs are not reevaluated?
