EntitySelection

An entity selection is an object containing one or more reference(s) to entities belonging to the same Dataclass. Una entity selection puede contener 0, 1 o X entidades de la dataclass -- donde X puede representar el número total de entidades contenidas en la dataclass.

Entity selections can be created from existing selections using various functions of the DataClass class such as .all() or .query(), or functions of the EntityClass class itself, such as .and() or orderBy(). You can also create blank entity selections using the dataClass.newSelection() function or the Create new selection command.

Crear una entity selection

Create entity selection ( dsTable : Table { ; settings : Object } ) : 4D.EntitySelection

ParámetrosTipoDescripción
dsTableTabla->Tabla de la base 4D cuya selección actual se utilizará para construir la selección de entidades
settingsObject->Opciones de construcción: context
Result4D.EntitySelection<-Selección de entidades que coinciden con la clase de datos relacionada con la tabla dada

Descripción

The Create entity selection command builds and returns a new, alterable entity selection related to the dataclass matching the given dsTable, according to the current selection of this table.

If the current selection is sorted, an ordered entity selection is created (the order of the current selection is kept). Si la selección actual no está ordenada, se crea una selección de entidades no ordenada.

If the dsTable is not exposed in ds, an error is returned. Este comando no puede utilizarse con un datastore remoto.

In the optional settings parameter, you can pass an object containing the following property:

PropiedadTipoDescripción
contextTextLabel for the optimization context applied to the entity selection.

Ejemplo

var $employees : cs.EmployeeSelection
ALL RECORDS([Employee])
$employees:=Create entity selection([Employee])
// La entity selection $employees ahora contiene un conjunto de referencias
// en todas las entidades relacionadas con la clase de datos Employee

USE ENTITY SELECTION

USE ENTITY SELECTION (entitySelection)

ParámetrosTipoDescripción
entitySelectionEntitySelection->Una entity selection

Descripción

The USE ENTITY SELECTION command updates the current selection of the table matching the dataclass of the entitySelection parameter, according to the content of the entity selection.

This command cannot be used with a Remote datastore.

info

Este comando está diseñado para hacer que las selecciones actuales 4D se beneficien del poder de las consultas ORDA. For performance reasons, in 4D single-user and 4D Server, the command directly connects entitySelection to the current selection. Therefore, once entitySelection has been used, it must not be reused or altered afterwards.

nota

After a call to USE ENTITY SELECTION, the first record of the updated current selection (if not empty) becomes the current record, but it is not loaded in memory. If you need to use the values of the fields in the current record, use the LOAD RECORD command after the USE ENTITY SELECTION command.

Ejemplo

var $entitySel : cs.EmployeeSelection

$entitySel:=ds.Employee.query("lastName = :1";"M@") //$entitySel está asociado a la dataclass Employee
REDUCE SELECTION([Employee];0)
USE ENTITY SELECTION($entitySel) //Se actualiza la selección actual de la tabla Employee

[index] : 4D.Entity

Descripción

The EntitySelection[index] notation allows you to access entities within the entity selection using the standard collection syntax: pass the position of the entity you want to get in the index parameter.

Tenga en cuenta que la entidad correspondiente se vuelve a cargar desde el almacén de datos.

index can be any number between 0 and .length-1.

  • If index is out of range, an error is returned.
  • If index corresponds to a dropped entity, a Null value is returned.
caution

EntitySelection[index] is a non assignable expression, which means that it cannot be used as en editable entity reference with methods like .lock() or .save(). Para trabajar con la entidad correspondiente, es necesario asignar la expresión devuelta a una expresión asignable, como una variable. Ejemplos:

 $sel:=ds.Employee.all() //creación de la entity selection
//declaraciones no válidas:
$result:=$sel[0].lock() //NO funcionará
$sel[0].lastName:="Smith" //NO funcionará
$result:=$sel[0].save() //NO funcionará
//valid code:
$entity:=$sel[0] //OK
$entity.lastName:="Smith" //OK
$entity.save() //OK

Ejemplo

 var $employees : cs.EmployeeSelection
var $employee : cs.EmployeeEntity
$employees:=ds.Employee.query("lastName = :1";"H@")
$employee:=$employees[2] // La tercera entidad de la selección de entidades $employees se recarga de la base de datos

.attributeName

.attributeName : Collection
.attributeName : 4D.EntitySelection

Descripción

Todo atributo de dataclass puede ser utilizado como una propiedad de una entity selection para devolver una "proyección" de los valores del atributo en la entity selection. Projected values can be a collection or a new entity selection, depending on the kind (storage or relation) of the attribute.

  • If attributeName kind is storage: .attributeName returns a collection of values of the same type as attributeName.
  • If attributeName kind is relatedEntity: .attributeName returns a new entity selection of related values of the same type as attributeName. Se eliminan los duplicados (se devuelve una entity selection desordenada).
  • If attributeName kind is relatedEntities: .attributeName returns a new entity selection of related values of the same type as attributeName. Se eliminan los duplicados (se devuelve una entity selection desordenada).

Cuando se utiliza un atributo de relación como propiedad de una selección de entidades, el resultado es siempre otra selección de entidades, aunque sólo se devuelva una entidad. Cuando se utiliza un atributo de relación como propiedad de una selección de entidades, el resultado es siempre otra selección de entidades, aunque sólo se devuelva una entidad.

Si el atributo no existe en la selección de entidades, se devuelve un error.

Ejemplo 1

Proyección de valores de almacenamiento:

 var $firstNames : Collection
$entitySelection:=ds.Employee.all()
$firstNames:=$entitySelection.firstName // firstName es un string

La colección resultante es una colección de cadenas, por ejemplo:

[
"Joanna",
"Alexandra",
"Rick"
]

Ejemplo 2

Proyección de la entidad relacionada:

 var $es; $entitySelection : cs.EmployeeSelection
$entitySelection:=ds.Employee.all()
$es:=$entitySelection.employer // employer está relacionado a la dataClass Company

El objeto resultante es una selección de entidades de la empresa con los duplicados eliminados (si los hay).

Ejemplo 3

Proyección de entidades relacionadas:

 var $es : cs.EmployeeSelection
$es:=ds.Employee.all().directReports // directReports está relacionado a la dataclass Employee

El objeto resultante es una entity selection de la dataclass Employee sin duplicados (si los hay).

Result4D.EntitySelection->Entity selection including the added entity or entitySelection

Descripción

The .add() function adds the specified entity or entitySelection to the original entity selection and returns the modified entity selection.

Los valores de tipo Date se convierten en valores numéricos (segundos) y se utilizan para calcular la media.

atención

The entity selection must be alterable, i.e. it has been created for example by .newSelection() or Create entity selection, otherwise .add() will return an error. Las entity selections compartibles no aceptan la adición de entidades. For more information, please refer to the Shareable or alterable entity selections section.

Añadir una entidad

  • If the entity selection is ordered, entity is added at the end of the selection. Si una referencia a la misma entidad ya pertenece a la selección de entidades, se duplica y se añade una nueva referencia.
  • If the entity selection is unordered, entity is added anywhere in the selection, with no specific order.

Añadir una selección de entidades

  • If the entity selection is ordered, its order is kept and entitySelection is added at the end of the selection. If references to the same entities of entitySelection already belong to the entity selection, they are duplicated and new references are added.
  • Si la selección de entidades está desordenada, se convierte en ordenada.

For more information, please refer to the Ordered or unordered entity selection section.

La entity selection modificada es devuelta por la función, de modo que las llamadas a la función pueden encadenarse.

An error occurs if entity and the entity selection are not related to the same Dataclass. If entity is Null, no error is raised.

Ejemplo 1

 var $employees : cs.EmployeeSelection
var $employee : cs.EmployeeEntity
$employees:=ds.Employee.newSelection()
$employee:=ds.Employee.new()
$employee.lastName:="Smith"
$employee.save()
$employees.add($employee) //La entidad $employee se añade a la selección de entidades $employees

Result4D.EntitySelection<-Entity selection resultante de la intersección con el operador lógico AND

Descripción

The .and() function combines the entity selection with an entity or entitySelection parameter using the logical AND operator; it returns a new, unordered entity selection that contains only the entities that are referenced in both the entity selection and the parameter.

  • If you pass entity as parameter, you combine this entity with the entity selection. Si la entidad pertenece a la entity selection, se devuelve una nueva entity selection que sólo contiene la entidad. En caso contrario, se devuelve una selección de entidades vacía.
  • If you pass entitySelection as parameter, you combine both entity selections. If the entity belongs to the entity selection, a new reference to the entity selection is returned. Otherwise, a new entity selection containing the original entity selection and the entity is returned.

You can compare ordered and/or unordered entity selections. La selección resultante es siempre desordenada.

If the original entity selection or the entitySelection parameter is empty, or if the entity is Null, an empty entity selection is returned.

Si la entity selection inicial y el parámetro no están relacionados con la misma dataclass, se produce un error.

Ejemplo 1

 var $employees; $result : cs.EmployeeSelection
var $employee : cs.EmployeeEntity
$employees:=ds.Employee.query("lastName = :1";"H@")
//The $employees entity selection contains the entity
//with primary key 710 and other entities
//for ex. "Colin Hetrick" / "Grady Harness" / "Sherlock Holmes" (primary key 710)
$employee:=ds.Employee.get(710) // Returns "Sherlock Holmes"

$result:=$employees.and($employee) //$result is an entity selection containing

Descripción

The .distinct() function returns a collection containing only distinct (different) values from the attributePath in the entity selection.

La colección devuelta se clasifica automáticamente. Null values are not returned.

In the attributePath parameter, pass the entity attribute whose distinct values you want to get. Sólo se pueden manejar valores escalares (texto, número, booleano o fecha). If the attributePath leads to an object property that contains values of different types, they are first grouped by type and sorted afterwards. Si attributePath lleva a una propiedad de objeto que contiene valores de diferentes tipos, primero se agrupan por tipo y se ordenan después.

  1. booleans
  2. cadenas
  3. numbers
  4. dates

You can use the [] notation to designate a collection when attributePath is a path within an object (see examples).

In the options parameter, you can pass one or a combination of the following constants:

ConstanteValorComentario
dk diacritical8La evaluación distingue entre mayúsculas y minúsculas y diferencia los caracteres acentuados. Por defecto si se omite, se realiza una evaluación no diacrítica
dk count values32Devuelve el conteo de entidades para cada valor distinto. When this option is passed, .distinct() returns a collection of objects containing a pair of {"value":*value*; "count":*count*} properties.
nota

The dk count values option is only available with storage attributes of type boolean, string, number, and date.

Se devuelve un error si:

  • attributePath is a related attribute,
  • attributePath is not found in the entity selection dataclass.

Ejemplos

Quiere obtener una colección que contenga un solo elemento por nombre de país:

The .distinctPaths() function returns a collection of distinct paths found in the indexed object attribute for the entity selection.

If attribute is not an indexed object attribute, an error is generated.

After the call, the size of the returned collection is equal to the number of distinct paths found in attribute for the entity selection. Las rutas se devuelven como cadenas que incluyen atributos anidados y colecciones, por ejemplo "info.address.number" o "children[].birthdate". Entities with a null value in the attribute are not taken into account.

Descripción

The .drop() function removes the entities belonging to the entity selection from the table related to its dataclass within the datastore. La entity selection permanece en la memoria.

La eliminación de entidades es permanente y no se puede deshacer. Se recomienda llamar a esta acción en una transacción para tener una opción de recuperación.

If a locked entity is encountered during the execution of .drop(), it is not removed. Por defecto, el método procesa todas las entidades de la selección de entidades y devuelve las entidades no eliminables en la selección de entidades. If you want the method to stop execution at the first encountered non-droppable entity, pass the dk stop dropping on first error constant in the mode parameter.

Ejemplo

Example without the dk stop dropping on first error option:

 var $employees; $notDropped : cs.EmployeeSelection
$employees:=ds.Employee.query("firstName=:1";"S@")
$notDropped:=$employees.drop() // $notDropped is an entity selection containing all the not dropped entities

ResultCollection<-Colección que contiene los valores extraídos

Descripción

The .extract() function returns a collection containing attributePath values extracted from the entity selection.

attributePath can refer to:

  • un atributo escalar de dataclass,
  • entidad relacionada,
  • entidades relacionadas.

If attributePath is invalid, an empty collection is returned.

Esta función acepta dos sintaxis.

.extract( attributePath : Text { ; option : Integer } ) : Collection

With this syntax, .extract() populates the returned collection with the attributePath values of the entity selection.

By default, entities for which attributePath is null or undefined are ignored in the resulting collection. You can pass the ck keep null constant in the option parameter to include these values as null elements in the returned collection.

  • Dataclass attributes with .kind = "relatedEntity" are extracted as a collection of entities (duplications are kept).
  • Dataclass attributes with .kind = "relatedEntities" are extracted as a collection of entity selections.

.extract ( attributePath ; targetPath { ; ...attributePathN ; ... targetPathN}) : Collection

With this syntax, .extract() populates the returned collection with the attributePath properties. Each element of the returned collection is an object with targetPath properties filled with the corresponding attributePath properties. Null values are kept (option parameter is ignored with this syntax).

If several attributePath are given, a targetPath must be given for each. Only valid pairs [attributePath, targetPath] are extracted.

  • Dataclass attributes with .kind = "relatedEntity" are extracted as an entity.
  • Dataclass attributes with .kind = "relatedEntities" are extracted as an entity selection.

Los valores Null se evalúan como inferiores a los otros valores.

Ejemplo

Dada la siguiente tabla y relación:

 var $firstnames; $addresses; $mailing; $teachers : Collection
//
//
//$firstnames is a collection of Strings


$firstnames:=ds.Teachers.all().extract("firstname")
//
//$addresses is a collection of entities related to dataclass Address
//Null values for address are extracted
$addresses:=ds.Teachers.all().extract("address";ck keep null)
//
//

.first() : 4D.Entity

ParámetrosTipoDescripción
Result4D.Entity<-Referencia a la primera entidad de la entity selection (Null si la selección está vacía)

Descripción

The .first() function returns a reference to the entity in the first position of the entity selection.

El resultado de esta función es similar a:

 $entity:=$entitySel[0]

Sin embargo, hay una diferencia entre ambas afirmaciones cuando la selección está vacía:

 var $entitySel : cs.EmpSelection
var $entity : cs.EmpEntity
$entitySel:=ds.Emp.query("lastName = :1";"Nonexistentname") //no matching entity
//entity selection is then empty
$entity:=$entitySel.first() //returns Null
$entity:=$entitySel[0] //generates an error

Ejemplo

 var $entitySelection : cs.EmpSelection
var $entity : cs.EmpEntity
$entitySelection:=ds.Emp.query("salary > :1";100000)

Descripción

The .max() function returns the highest (or maximum) value among all the values of attributePath in the entity selection. It actually returns the value of the last entity of the entity selection as it would be sorted in ascending order using the .orderBy() function.

If you pass in attributePath a path to an object property containing different types of values, the .max() function will return the maximum value within the first scalar type in the default 4D type list order (see .sort() description).

.max() returns undefined if the entity selection is empty or attributePath is not found in the object attribute.

Se devuelve un error si:

  • attributePath is a related attribute,
  • attributePath designates an attribute that does not exist in the entity selection dataclass.

The .min() function returns the lowest (or minimum) value among all the values of attributePath in the entity selection. It actually returns the first entity of the entity selection as it would be sorted in ascending order using the .orderBy() function (excluding null values).

If you pass in attributePath a path to an object property containing different types of values, the .min() function will return the minimum value within the first scalar value type in the type list order (see .sort() description).

.min() returns undefined if the entity selection is empty or attributePath is not found in the object attribute.

Result4D.EntitySelection<-Nueva entity selection o una nueva referencia en la entity selection existente

Descripción

The .minus() function excludes from the entity selection to which it is applied the entity or the entities of entitySelection and returns the resulting entity selection.

  • If you pass entity as parameter, the function creates a new entity selection without entity (if entity belongs to the entity selection). If entity was not included in the original entity selection, a new reference to the entity selection is returned.
  • If you pass entitySelection as parameter, the function returns an entity selection containing the entities belonging to the original entity selection without the entities belonging to entitySelection. You can compare ordered and/or unordered entity selections.

By default, if you omit the keepOrder parameter, the resulting entity selection is unordered. If you want to keep the order of the original entity selection (for example if you want to reuse the entity selection in a user interface), pass the dk keep ordered constant in keepOrder. En este caso, el resultado es una selección de entidades ordenada y se mantiene el orden de la selección de entidades inicial.

nota

If you pass dk keep ordered in keepOrder and the removed entitySelection contains entities duplicated in the original entity selection, all occurences of the duplicates are removed.

If the original entity selection or both the original entity selection and the entitySelection parameter are empty, an empty entity selection is returned.

If entitySelection is empty or if entity is Null, a new reference to the original entity selection is returned.

Si la entity selection inicial y el parámetro no están relacionados con la misma dataclass, se produce un error.

Ejemplo 1

 var $employees; $result : cs.EmployeeSelection
var $employee : cs.EmployeeEntity

$employees:=ds.Employee.query("lastName = :1";"H@")
// The $employees entity selection contains the entity with primary key 710 and other entities
// for ex. "Colin Hetrick", "Grady Harness", "Sherlock Holmes" (primary key 710)

$employee:=ds.Employee.get(710) // Returns "Sherlock Holmes"

$result:=$employees.minus($employee) //$result contains "Colin Hetrick", "Grady Harness"

Ejemplo 2

Queremos tener una selección de empleadas llamadas "Jones" que vivan en Nueva York :

Result4D.EntitySelection<-Nueva entity selection o una nueva referencia a la entity selection de origen

Descripción

The .or() function combines the entity selection with the entity or entitySelection parameter using the logical (not exclusive) OR operator; it returns a new, unordered entity selection that contains all the entities from the entity selection and the parameter.

  • If you pass entity as parameter, you compare this entity with the entity selection. Se devuelve una nueva selección de entidades que contiene sólo las entidades a las que se hace referencia en ambas selecciones. A new entity selection that contains only the entities that are referenced in both selections is returned.
  • If you pass entitySelection as parameter, you compare entity selections. A new entity selection containing the entities belonging to the original entity selection or entitySelection is returned (or is not exclusive, entities referenced in both selections are not duplicated in the resulting selection).

You can compare ordered and/or unordered entity selections. La selección resultante es siempre desordenada.

If the original entity selection and the entitySelection parameter are empty, an empty entity selection is returned. If the original entity selection is empty, a reference to entitySelection or an entity selection containing only entity is returned.

If entitySelection is empty or if entity is Null, a new reference to the original entity selection is returned.

Si la entity selection inicial y el parámetro no están relacionados con la misma dataclass, se produce un error.

Ejemplo 1

 var $employees1; $employees2; $result : cs.EmployeeSelection
$employees1:=ds.Employee.query("lastName = :1";"H@") //Devuelve "Colin Hetrick","Grady Harness"

ParámetrosTipoDescripción

Result4D.EntitySelection<-Nueva entity selection en el orden especificado

Descripción

The .orderBy() function returns a new ordered entity selection containing all entities of the entity selection in the order specified by pathString or pathObjects criteria.

Debe utilizar un parámetro de criterio para definir cómo deben ordenarse las entidades. Se soportan dos parámetros diferentes:

  • pathString (Text) : This parameter contains a formula made of 1 to x attribute paths and (optionally) sort orders, separated by commas. La sintaxis es:
"attributePath1 {desc or asc}, attributePath2 {desc or asc},..."

El orden en que se pasan los atributos determina la prioridad de ordenación de las entidades. Por defecto, los atributos se clasifican en orden ascendente. Puede definir el orden de clasificación de una propiedad en la cadena de criterios, separado de la ruta de la propiedad por un solo espacio: pase "asc" para ordenar en orden ascendente o "desc" en orden descendente.

  • pathObjects (collection): each element of the collection contains an object structured in the following way:
{
"propertyPath": string,
"descending": boolean
}

Por defecto, los atributos se clasifican en orden ascendente ("descending" es false).

Puede añadir tantos objetos en la colección de criterios como sea necesario.

Esta función sólo funciona con un datastore remoto (cliente/servidor o conexión Open datastore).

If you pass an invalid attribute path in pathString or pathObject, the function returns an empty entity selection.

Ejemplo

// ordenar por fórmula
$sortedEntitySelection:=$entitySelection.orderBy("firstName asc, salary desc")
$sortedEntitySelection:=$entitySelection.orderBy("firstName")

// ordenar por colección con o sin órdenes de clasificación
$orderColl:=New collection
$orderColl.push(New object("propertyPath";"firstName";"descending";False))
$orderColl.push(New object("propertyPath";"salary";"descending";True))
$sortedEntitySelection:=$entitySelection.orderBy($orderColl)

Result4D.EntitySelection<-Nueva entity selection ordenada

Descripción

The .orderByFormula() function returns a new, ordered entity selection containing all entities of the entity selection in the order defined through the formulaString or formulaObj and, optionally, sortOrder and settings parameters.

Las entidades de una colección de entidades a las que se accede por medio de [ ] no se recargan desde la base de datos.

You can use either a formulaString or a formulaObj parameter:

  • formulaString: you pass a 4D expression such as "Year of(this.birthDate)".
  • formulaObj: pass a valid formula object created using the Formula or Formula from string command.

The formulaString or formulaObj is executed for each entity of the entity selection and its result is used to define the position of the entity in the returned entity selection. El resultado debe ser de un tipo ordenable (booleano, fecha, número, texto, hora, null).

Un resultado null es siempre el valor más pequeño.

By default if you omit the sortOrder parameter, the resulting entity selection is sorted in ascending order. Optionnally, you can pass one of the following values in the sortOrder parameter:

ConstanteValorComentario
dk ascending0Orden ascendente (por defecto)
dk descending1Orden descendente

Within the formulaString or formulaObj, the processed entity and thus its attributes are available through the This command (for example, This.lastName).

You can pass parameter(s) to the formula using the args property (object) of the settings parameter: the formula receives the settings.args object in $1.

Ejemplo 1

Clasificar a los alumnos mediante una fórmula dada como texto:

 var $es1; $es2 : cs.StudentsSelection
$es1:=ds.Students.query("nationality=:1";"French")
$es2:=$es1.orderByFormula("length(this.lastname)") //ascendente por defecto
$es2:=$es1.orderByFormula("length(this.lastname)";dk descending)

El mismo orden de clasificación pero utilizando un objeto fórmula:

 var $es1; $es2 : cs.StudentsSelection
var $formula : Object
$es1:=ds.Students.query("nationality=:1";"French")
$formula:=Formula(Length(This.lastname))
$es2:=$es1.orderByFormula($formula) // ascendente por defecto
$es2:=$es1.orderByFormula($formula;dk descending)

Ejemplo 2

A formula is given as a formula object with parameters; settings.args object is received as $1 in the computeAverage method.

In this example, the "marks" object field in the Students dataClass contains students' grades for each subject. Se utiliza un solo objeto fórmula para calcular la nota media de un alumno con diferentes coeficientes para schoolA y schoolB.

 var $es1; $es2 : cs.StudentsSelection
var $formula; $schoolA; $schoolB : Object
$es1:=ds.Students.query("nationality=:1";"French")
$formula:=Formula(computeAverage($1))

$schoolA:=New object() //settings object
$schoolA.args:=New object("english";1;"math";1;"history";1) // Coefficients to compute an average

//Order students according to school A criteria
$es2:=$es1.entitySelection.orderByFormula($formula;$schoolA)

$schoolB:=New object() //settings object
$schoolB.args:=New object("english";1;"math";2;"history";3) // Coefficients to compute an average

//Order students according to school B criteria
$es2:=$es1.entitySelection.orderByFormula($formula;dk descending;$schoolB)

Descripción

This function only works with a remote datastore (client / server or Open datastore connection).

The .refresh() function immediately "invalidates" the entity selection data in the local ORDA cache so that the next time 4D requires the entity selection, it will be reloaded from the database.

Por defecto, la caché local de ORDA se invalida después de 30 segundos. En el contexto de las aplicaciones cliente/servidor que utilizan tanto ORDA como el lenguaje clásico, este método le permite asegurarse de que una aplicación remota siempre funcionará con los datos más recientes.

Ejemplo 1

En este ejemplo, el código clásico y el código ORDA modifican los mismos datos simultáneamente:

 //On a 4D remote

var $selection : cs.StudentsSelection
var $student : cs.StudentsEntity

$selection:=ds.Students.query("lastname=:1";"Collins")
//The first entity is loaded in the ORDA cache
$student:=$selection.first()

//Update with classic 4D, ORDA cache is not aware of if
QUERY([Students];[Students]lastname="Collins")
[Students]lastname:="Colin"
SAVE RECORD([Students])

//to get the latest version, the ORDA cache must be invalidated
$selection.refresh()
// Even if cache is not expired, the first entity is reloaded from disk
$student:=$selection.first()

//$student.lastname contains "Colin"

Las entidades de una colección de entidades a las que se accede por medio de [ ] no se recargan desde la base de datos.

Pass in the selectedEntities parameter an entity selection containing entities for which you want to know the position in the original entity selection. selectedEntities must be an entity selection belonging to the same dataclass as the original entity selection, otherwise an error 1587 - "The entity selection comes from an incompatible dataclass" is raised.

Descripción

The .slice() function returns a portion of an entity selection into a new entity selection, selected from the startFrom index to the end index (end is not included) or to the last entity of the entity selection. Este método devuelve una shallow copy (copia superficial) de la entity selection (utiliza las mismas referencias de entidades).

Las entidades de una colección de entidades a las que se accede por medio de [ ] no se recargan desde la base de datos.

The returned entity selection contains the entities specified by startFrom and all subsequent entities up to, but not including, the entity specified by end. If only the startFrom parameter is specified, the returned entity selection contains all entities from startFrom to the last entity of the original entity selection.

  • If startFrom < 0, it is recalculated as startFrom:=startFrom+length (it is considered as the offset from the end of the entity selection). If the calculated value < 0, startFrom is set to 0.
  • If startFrom >= length, the function returns an empty entity selection.
  • If end < 0, it is recalculated as end:=end+length.
  • If end < startFrom (passed or calculated values), the method does nothing.
.sum() devuelve 0 si la entity selection está vacía.

Ejemplo 1

Si la entity selection contiene entidades que se han eliminado mientras tanto, también se devuelven.

var $sel; $sliced : cs.EmployeeSelection
$sel:=ds.Employee.query("salary > :1";50000)

.sum( attributePath : Text ) : Real

ParámetrosTipoDescripción
attributePathText->Ruta del atributo que se utilizará para el cálculo
ResultReal<-Suma de los valores de la entity selection

Descripción

The .sum() function returns the sum for all attributePath values in the entity selection.

.sum() returns 0 if the entity selection is empty.

La suma sólo puede hacerse en valores de tipo numérico. If the attributePath is an object property, only numerical values are taken into account for the calculation (other value types are ignored). In this case, if attributePath leads to a property that does not exist in the object or does not contain any numeric values, .sum() returns 0.

Se devuelve un error si:

  • attributePath is not a numerical or an object attribute,
  • attributePath is a related attribute,
  • attributePath is not found in the entity selection dataclass.

Ejemplo

var $sel : cs.EmployeeSelection
var $sum : Real

$sel:=ds.Employee.query("salary < :1";20000)
$sum:=$sel.sum("salary")

.toCollection( { options : Integer { ; begin : Integer { ; howMany : Integer } } ) : Collection
.toCollection( filterString : Text {; options : Integer { ; begin : Integer { ; howMany : Integer }}} ) : Collection
.toCollection( filterCol : Collection {; options : Integer { ; begin : Integer { ; howMany : Integer }}} ) : Collection

ParámetrosTipoDescripción
filterStringText->Cadena con la(s) ruta(s) de atributos de la entidad a extraer
filterColCollection->Colección de rutas de atributos de entidad a extraer
optionsInteger->dk with primary key: adds the primary key
dk with stamp: adds the stamp
beginInteger->Designa el índice inicial
howManyInteger->Número de entidades a extraer
ResultCollection<-Colección de objetos que contienen atributos y valores de la selección de entidades

Descripción

The .toCollection() function creates and returns a collection where each element is an object containing a set of properties and values corresponding to the attribute names and values for the entity selection.

Si no se pasa ningún parámetro de filtro o si el primer parámetro contiene una cadena vacía o "*", se extraen todos los atributos. Attributes with kind property as "relatedEntity" are extracted with the simple form: an object with property __KEY (primary key). Los atributos con la propiedad kind como "relatedEntities" no se extraen.

O bien, puede designar los atributos de la entidad a extraer utilizando un parámetro de filtro. Puede utilizar uno de estos dos filtros:

  • filterString --a string with property paths separated with commas: "propertyPath1, propertyPath2, ...".
  • filterCol --a collection of strings containing property paths: ["propertyPath1","propertyPath2",...]

If a filter is specified for an attribute of the relatedEntity kind:

  • propertyPath = "relatedEntity" -> it is extracted with simple form
  • propertyPath = "relatedEntity.*" -> all the properties are extracted
  • propertyPath = "relatedEntity.propertyName1, relatedEntity.propertyName2, ..." -> only those properties are extracted

If a filter is specified for an attribute of the relatedEntities kind:

  • propertyPath = "relatedEntities.*" -> all the properties are extracted
  • propertyPath = "relatedEntities.propertyName1, relatedEntities.propertyName2, ..." -> only those properties are extracted

In the options parameter, you can pass the dk with primary key and/or dk with stamp selector(s) to add the entity's primary keys and/or stamps in extracted objects.

Atención

Si utiliza otro atributo distinto de la llave primaria como atributo Uno en una relación, el valor de este atributo se escribirá en la propiedad "__KEY". Keep in mind that it is recommended to use the primary key as One attribute in your relations, especially when you use .toCollection() and .fromCollection() functions.

The begin parameter allows you to indicate the starting index of the entities to extract. Puede pasar cualquier valor entre 0 y la longitud de la entity selection -1.

The howMany parameter lets you specify the number of entities to extract, starting with the one specified in begin. Dropped entities are not returned but are taken into account according to howMany. For example, if howMany= 3 and there is 1 dropped entity, only 2 entities are extracted.

If howMany > length of the entity selection, the method returns (length - begin) objects.

Si howMany > longitud de la entity selection, el método devuelve (length - begin) objetos.

  • la entity selection está vacía, o
  • begin is greater than the length of the entity selection.
