_Connection.Edit (gb.db)
Function Edit ( Table As String [ , Request As String, Arguments As , ...
] ) As Result
Returns a read/write
Result object used for editing records in the specified
table.
-
Table is the table name.
-
Request is a SQL WHERE clause used for filtering the table (without the WHERE keyword).
-
Arguments are quoted as needed by the SQL syntax, and substituted inside the Request string
The last feature allows you to write requests that are independant of the underlying database type.
Once you have gotten the Result object, you can modify some of its fields. Then you can call the
Result.Update method
to send the changes to the database (i.e. omitting the corresponding UPDATE SQL statement).
Examples
DIM hResult AS Result
DIM sCriteria AS String
DIM iParemeter AS Integer
sCriteria = "id = &1"
iParameter = 1012
$hConn.Begin
' Same as "SELECT * FROM tblDEFAULT WHERE id = 1012"
hResult = $hConn.Edit("tblDEFAULT", sCriteria, iParameter)
' Set field value
hResult!Name = "Mr Smith"
' Update the value
hResult.Update
$hConn.Commit
