db_multirow_group_last_row_p (public)

 db_multirow_group_last_row_p -column column

Defined in packages/acs-tcl/tcl/01-database-procs.tcl

Used inside the code_block to db_multirow to ask whether this row is the last row before the value of 'column' changes, or the last row of the result set.

This is useful when you want to build up a multirow for a master/slave table pair, where you only want one row per row in the master table, but you want to include data from the slave table in a column of the multirow.

Here's an example:

    # Initialize the lines variable to hold a list of order line summaries
    set lines [list]

    # Start building the multirow. We add the dynamic column 'lines_pretty', which will
    # contain the pretty summary of the order lines.
    db_multirow -extend { lines_pretty } orders select_orders_and_lines {
        select o.order_id,
        o.customer_name,
        l.item_name,
        l.quantity
        from   orders o,
        order_lines l
        where  l.order_id = o.order_id
        order  by o.order_id, l.item_name
    } {
        lappend lines "$quantity $item_name"
        if { [db_multirow_group_last_row_p -column order_id] } {
            # Last row of this order, prepare the pretty version of the order lines
            set lines_pretty [join $lines ", "]

            # Reset the lines list, so we start from a fresh with the next row
            set lines [list]
        } else {
            # There are yet more order lines to come for this order,
            # continue until we've collected all the order lines
            # The 'continue' keyword means this line will not be added to the resulting multirow
            continue
        }
    }
    

Switches:
-column (required)
The name of the column defining the groups.
Returns:
1 if this is the last row before the column value changes, 0 otherwise.
