Libraries.Data.Database.QueryMetaData Documentation

This class represents meta data for a particular query back from a database. A common use for this used to find out how many columns are in a query which can help with iterating through the result of a query.

Example Code

use Libraries.Data.Database.Database
use Libraries.Data.Database.Find
use Libraries.Data.Database.QueryResult
use Libraries.Data.Database.QueryMetaData

Database database
database:Connect("localhost", "myDatabase", "user", "SuperSecret456")

Find find
find:AddColumn("itemName")
find:AddColumn("quantity")
find:AddColumn("price")
find:SetTable("orders")

QueryResult result = database:Find(find)

// grab how many columns there are in the result set from the metadata
QueryMetaData meta = result:GetQueryMetaData()
integer size = meta:GetSize()


repeat while result:HasNext()
output "row: "
result:Next()
i = 0
repeat while i < size
    text value = result:GetText(i)
    output value + ", "
    i = i + 1
end
output ""
end

Actions Documentation

Compare(Libraries.Language.Object object)

This action compares two object hash codes and returns an integer. The result is larger if this hash code is larger than the object passed as a parameter, smaller, or equal. In this case, -1 means smaller, 0 means equal, and 1 means larger. This action was changed in Quorum 7 to return an integer, instead of a CompareResult object, because the previous implementation was causing efficiency issues.

Parameters

Return

integer: The Compare result, Smaller, Equal, or Larger.

Example

Object o
Object t
integer result = o:Compare(t) //1 (larger), 0 (equal), or -1 (smaller)

Equals(Libraries.Language.Object object)

This action determines if two objects are equal based on their hash code values.

Parameters

Return

boolean: True if the hash codes are equal and false if they are not equal.

Example

use Libraries.Language.Object
use Libraries.Language.Types.Text
Object o
Text t
boolean result = o:Equals(t)

GetHashCode()

This action gets the hash code for an object.

Return

integer: The integer hash code of the object.

Example

Object o
integer hash = o:GetHashCode()

GetName(integer column)

Returns the name of the column. If the column was aliased this will return the alias

Parameters

  • integer column

Return

text:

GetSize()

Returns the number of columns in the query.

Return

integer:

GetType(integer column)

Returns the raw type of a column. Using DatabaseTypeConstants can help determine what the associated Quorum Type is.

Parameters

  • integer column

Return

integer:
