Detailed information

ad_column_type (public, deprecated)

 ad_column_type [ -dbn dbn ] table_name column_name
Deprecated. Invoking this procedure generates a warning.

Switches:
-dbn (optional)
The database name to use. If empty_string, uses the default database.
Parameters:
table_name (required)
column_name (required)
Returns:
'numeric' for number type columns, 'text' otherwise Throws an error if no such column exists.
Author:
Yon Feldman (yon@arsdigita.com) DEPRECATED: it is unclear what the purpose of this proc is. For instance, on a Linux/Postgres installation, ad_column_type acs_objects object_type -> 'numeric'. When things should happen based on the column type, maybe a better approach is to rely on more complete or consistent api, or on the information schema.

ns_set to be populated with values
Parameters:
statement_name (required)
name of the SQL query
sql (required)
SQL query to be executed
Returns:
1 if variables are set, 0 if no rows are returned. If more than one row is returned, throws an error.

db_bind_var_substitution (public)

 db_bind_var_substitution sql [ bind ]

This proc emulates the bind variable substitution in the PostgreSQL driver. Since this is a temporary hack, we do it in Tcl instead of hacking up the driver to support plsql calls. This is only used for the db_exec_plpgsql function.

Parameters:
sql (required)
bind (optional)

 db_blob_get_file [ -dbn dbn ] statement_name sql [ args... ]
Switches:
-dbn (optional)

TODO: This proc should probably be changed to take a final file argument, only, rather than the current args variable length argument list. Currently, it is called only 4 places in OpenACS, and each place args, if used at all, is always "-file $file". However, such a change might break custom code... I'm not sure. --atp@piskorski.com, 2003/04/09 11:39 EDT

db_driverkey (public)

 db_driverkey [ -handle_p handle_p ] dbn

Normally, a dbn is passed to this proc. Unfortunately, there are one or two cases where a proc that needs to call this one has only a db handle, not the dbn that handle came from. Therefore, they instead use -handle_p 1 and pass the db handle. Hmm, as of 2018, it seems that in most cases, db_driverkey is called with a handle.

Switches:
-handle_p (optional, defaults to "0")
Parameters:
dbn (required)
Returns:
The driverkey for use in db_* API switch statements.

db_exec_plsql (public)

 db_exec_plsql [ -dbn dbn ] statement_name sql [ -bind bind ]

Oracle: Executes a PL/SQL statement, and returns the variable of bind variable :1.

PostgreSQL: Performs a pl/pgsql function or procedure call. The caller must perform a select query that returns the value of the function.

Examples:

    # Oracle:
    db_exec_plsql delete_note {
        begin  note.del(:note_id);  end;
    }

    # PostgreSQL:
    db_exec_plsql delete_note {
        select note__delete(:note_id);
    }
    

If you need the return value, then do something like this:

    # Oracle:
    set new_note_id [db_exec_plsql create_note {
        begin
        :1 := note.new(
                       owner_id => :user_id,
                       title    => :title,
                       body     => :body,
                       creation_user => :user_id,
                       creation_ip   => :peeraddr,
                       context_id    => :package_id
                       );
        end;
    }]

    # PostgreSQL:
    set new_note_id [db_exec_plsql create_note {
        select note__new(
                         null,
                         :user_id,
                         :title,
                         :body,
                         'note',
                         now(),
                         :user_id,
                         :peeraddr,
                         :package_id
                         );
    }]
    

You can call several pl/SQL statements at once, like this:

    # Oracle:
    db_exec_plsql delete_note {
        begin
        note.del(:note_id);
        note.del(:another_note_id);
        note.del(:yet_another_note_id);
        end;
    }

    # PostgreSQL:
    db_exec_plsql delete_note {
        select note__delete(:note_id);
        select note__delete(:another_note_id);
        select note__delete(:yet_another_note_id);
    }
    
If you are using xql files then put the body of the query in a yourfilename-oracle.xql or yourfilename-postgresql.xql file, as appropriate. E.g. the first example transformed to use xql files looks like this:

yourfilename.tcl:

    db_exec_plsql delete_note {}

yourfilename-oracle.xql:

    <fullquery name="delete_note">
    <querytext>
    begin
    note.del(:note_id);
    end;
    </querytext>
    </fullquery>

yourfilename-postgresql.xql:

    <fullquery name="delete_note">
    <querytext>
    select note__delete(:note_id);
    </querytext>
    </fullquery>

Switches:
-dbn (optional)
The database name to use. If empty_string, uses the default database.
-bind (optional)
Parameters:
statement_name (required)
sql (required)

db_foreach (public)

 db_foreach [ -dbn dbn ] [ -subst subst ] statement_name sql \
    [ args... ]

Usage:

db_foreach statement-name sql [ -bind bind_set_id | -bind bind_value_list ] [ -column_array array_name | -column_set set_name ] code_block [ if_no_rows if_no_rows_block ]

Performs the SQL query sql, executing code_block once for each row with variables set to column values (or a set or array populated if -column_array or column_set is specified). If the query returns no rows, executes if_no_rows_block (if provided). In place of 'if_no_rows' also the 'else' keyword can be used.

Example:

db_foreach greeble_query "select foo, bar from greeble" {
        ns_write "<li>foo=$foo; bar=$bar\n"
    } if_no_rows {
        # This block is optional.
        ns_write "<li>No greebles!\n"
    }

Switches:
-dbn (optional)

db_load_sql_data (public)

 db_load_sql_data [ -dbn dbn ] [ -callback callback ] file

Loads a CSV formatted file into a table using PostgreSQL's COPY command or Oracle's SQL*Loader utility. The filename format consists of a sequence number used to control the order in which tables are loaded, and the table name with "-" replacing "_". This is a bit of a kludge but greatly speeds the loading of large amounts of data, such as is done when various "ref-*" packages are installed.

Switches:
-dbn (optional)
The database name to use. If empty_string, uses the default database.
-callback (optional, defaults to "apm_ns_write_callback")
Parameters:
file (required)
Filename in the format dd-table-name.ctl where 'dd' is a sequence number used to control the order in which data is loaded. This file is an RDBMS-specific data loader control file.

db_multirow (public)

 db_multirow [ -local ] [ -append ] [ -upvar_level upvar_level ] \
    [ -unclobber ] [ -extend extend ] [ -dbn dbn ] \
    [ -cache_key cache_key ] [ -cache_pool cache_pool ] \
    [ -subst subst ] var_name statement_name sql [ args... ]

Performs the SQL query sql, saving results in variables of the form var_name:1, var_name:2, etc, setting var_name:rowcount to the total number of rows, and setting var_name:columns to a list of column names. Usage:

db_multirow [ -local ] [ -upvar_level n_levels_up ] [ -append ] [ -extend column_list ] var-name statement-name sql [ -bind bind_set_id | -bind bind_value_list ] code_block [ if_no_rows if_no_rows_block ]

If "cache_key" is set, cache the array that results from the query *and* any code block for future use. When this result is returned from cache, THE CODE BLOCK IS NOT EXECUTED. Therefore, any values calculated by the code block that aren't listed as arguments to "extend" will not be created. In practice this impacts relatively few queries, but do take care.

You can not simultaneously append to and cache a nonempty multirow.

Each row also has a column, rownum, automatically added and set to the row number, starting with 1. Note that this will override any column in the SQL statement named 'rownum', also if you're using the Oracle rownum pseudo-column.

If the -local is passed, the variables defined by db_multirow will be set locally (useful if you're compiling dynamic templates in a function or similar situations). Use the -upvar_level switch to specify how many levels up the variable should be set. The default behavior (i.e., when no "-local" is specified) depends on the calling environment: when "db_multirow" is called from an ADP file the variables are set in the ADP environment. Otherwise, the default behavior is "-local".

You may supply a code block, which will be executed for each row in the loop. This is very useful if you need to make computations that are better done in Tcl than in SQL, for example using ns_urlencode or ns_quotehtml, etc. When the Tcl code is executed, all the columns from the SQL query will be set as local variables in that code. Any changes made to these local variables will be copied back into the multirow.

You may also add additional, computed columns to the multirow, using the -extend { col_1 col_2 ... } switch. This is useful for things like constructing a URL for the object retrieved by the query.

If you're constructing your multirow through multiple queries with the same set of columns, but with different rows, you can use the -append switch. This causes the rows returned by this query to be appended to the rows already in the multirow, instead of starting a clean multirow, as is the normal behavior. The columns must match the columns in the original multirow, or an error will be thrown.

Your code block may call continue in order to skip a row and not include it in the multirow. Or you can call break to skip this row and quit looping.

Notice the nonstandard numbering (everything else in Tcl starts at 0); the reason is that the graphics designer, a non-programmer, may wish to work with row numbers.

Example:

db_multirow -extend { user_url } users users_query {
        select user_id first_names, last_name, email from cc_users
    } {
        set user_url [acs_community_member_url -user_id $user_id]
    }

Switches:
-local (optional, boolean)
-append (optional, boolean)
-upvar_level (optional, defaults to "1")
-unclobber (optional, boolean)
If set, will cause the proc to not overwrite local variables. Actually, what happens is that the local variables will be overwritten, so you can access them within the code block. However, if you specify -unclobber, we will revert them to their original state after execution of this proc.
-extend (optional)
-dbn (optional)
The database name to use. If empty_string, uses the default database.
-cache_key (optional)
Cache the result using given value as the key. Default is to not cache.
-cache_pool (optional, defaults to "db_cache_pool")
Override the default db_cache_pool
-subst (optional, defaults to "all")
Perform Tcl substitution in xql-files. Possible values: all, none, vars, commands
Parameters:
var_name (required)
name of the Tcl multirow array
statement_name (required)
name of the SQL query
sql (required)
SQL query to be executed

db_multirow_group_last_row_p (public)

 db_multirow_group_last_row_p -column column

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,

db_transaction (public)

 db_transaction [ -dbn dbn ] transaction_code [ args... ]

Usage: db_transaction transaction_code [ on_error { error_code_block } ] Executes transaction_code with transactional semantics. This means that either all of the database commands within transaction_code are committed to the database or none of them are. Multiple db_transactions may be nested (end transaction is transparently ns_db dml'ed when the outermost transaction completes).

To handle errors, use db_transaction {transaction_code} on_error {error_code_block}. Any error generated in transaction_code will be caught automatically and process control will transfer to error_code_block with a variable errmsg set. The error_code block can then clean up after the error, such as presenting a usable error message to the user. Following the execution of error_code_block the transaction will be aborted. If you want to explicitly abort the transaction, call db_abort_transaction from within the transaction_code block or the error_code block.

Example 1:
In this example, db_dml triggers an error, so control passes to the on_error block which prints a readable error.

    db_transaction {
        db_dml test "nonsense"
    } on_error {
        ad_return_error "Error in blah/foo/bar" "The error was: $errmsg"
    }
    
Example 2:
In this example, the second command, "nonsense" triggers an error. There is no on_error block, so the transaction is immediately halted and aborted.
    db_transaction {
        db_dml test {insert into footest values(1)}
        nonsense
        db_dml test {insert into footest values(2)}
    }

# Don Baccus 2/25/2006 - my 52nd birthday!

# As originally released in (at least) ACS 4.2 through OpenACS 4.6,
# this DB API supported only a single, default database.  You could
# define any number of different database drivers and pools in
# AOLserver, but could only use ONE database here.
#
# I have eliminated this restriction.  Now, in OpenACS 5.0 and later,
# to access a nondefault database, simply pass the optional -dbn
# (Database Name) switch to any of the DB API procs which support it.
#
# Supported AOLserver database drivers:
#
# - Oracle (nsoracle): Everything should work.
#
# - PostgreSQL (nspostgres): Everything should work.
#
# - ODBC (nsodbc):
#   - Anything using bind variables will only work if you're using a
#     version of the driver with bind variable emulation hacked in
#     (copied from the PostgreSQL driver).
#   - Some features, like LOBs, simply won't work at all.
#   - The basic functionality worked fine back in Sept. 2001, but I
#     have NOT tested it since then at all, so maybe there are bugs.
#
# - Any others: Basic stuff using only the standard ns_db API will
#   likely work, but any special features of the driver (e.g., LOBs)
#   definitely won't.  Feel free to add support!
#
# --atp@piskorski.com, 2003/04/09 19:18 EDT

# Note that "-dbn" specifies a "Database Name", NOT a database pool!
#
# I could have provided access to secondary databases via a -pool
# rather than a -dbn switch, but chose not to, as the existing DB API
# already had the nicely general feature that if you try to do nested
# queries, the DB API will transparently grab a second database handle
# from another pool to make it work.  You can nest your queries as
# many levels deep as you have database pools defined for that
# database.  So, the existing API essentially already supported the
# notion of "binning" database pools into logical "databases", it just
# didn't provide any way to define more than the single, default
# database!  Thus I chose to preserve this "binning" by specifying
# databases via the -dbn switch rather than database pools via a -pool
# switch.

# TODO: The "driverkey_" overrides in the config file are NOT
# implemented yet!
#
# --atp@piskorski.com, 2003/03/16 21:30 EST

# NOTE: don't forget to add your new pools into the
# ns_section ns/db/pools


# The "driverkey" indirection layer:
#
# Note that in the AOLserver config file, you may optionally add one
# entry for each database defining its "driver key".  If you do NOT
# specify a driver key in the AOLserver config file, the appropriate
# key will be determined for you by calling "ns_db driver" once on
# startup for the first pool defined in each database.  Therefore,
# most people should NOT bother to give a driverkey in the config
# file.
#
# So, just what is this "driverkey" thing used for anyway?  AOLserver
# defines the ns_db API, and the OpenACS db_* API depends utterly on
# it.  However, there are a few holes in the functionality of the
# ns_db API, and each AOLserver database driver tends to fill in those
# holes by adding extra functionality with its own, drive specific
# functions.  Therefore, in order to make the db_* API work with
# multiple db drivers, we need to introduce some switches or if
# statements in our code.
#
# Currently (2003/04/08), at least for the Oracle, PostgreSQL, and
# ODBC drivers, the database driver name returned by "ns_db driver" is
# completely sufficient for these switch statements.  But, rather than
# using ns_db driver directly in the switches, we add the simple
# "driver key" layer of indirection between the two, to make the
# default behavior easier to override if that should ever be
# necessary.

# We now use the following global variables:

# array total, while now we have one of each array per database.
#
# The db_pool_to_dbn nsv is simply a map to quickly tell use which dbn
# each AOLserver database pool belongs to.  (Any pools which do not
# belong to any dbn have no entry here.)
#
# We use the procs db_state_array_name_is, db_available_pools, and

            #
            # The best solution would certainly be to call "db_nextval"

    <p>

    A helper procedure to execute a SQL statement, potentially binding
    depending on the value of the $bind variable in the calling environment
    (if set).

    <p>
    Low level replacement for db_exec which replaces inline code with a proc.
    db proc is dropped after execution.  This is a temporary fix until we can
    port all of the db_exec_plsql calls to simple selects of the inline code
    wrapped in function calls.

    <p>
    emulation of plsql calls from oracle.  This routine takes the plsql
    statements and wraps them in a function call, calls the function, and then
    drops the function. Future work might involve converting this to cache the
    function calls

    This is useful when we do bind var substitution because we should

    {'a''}           {}

    setting <code><i>var_name</i>:rowcount</code> to the total number
    of rows, and setting <code><i>var_name</i>:columns</code> to a
    list of column names.

    Usage:
    
    <blockquote>
    db_multirow [ -local ] [ -upvar_level <em><i>n_levels_up</i></em> ] [ -append ] [ -extend <em><i>column_list</i></em> ] \

        <em><i>code_block</i></em> [ if_no_rows <em><i>if_no_rows_block</i> ]</em>

    </blockquote>


    <p>

    If "cache_key" is set, cache the array that results from the query *and*
    any code block for future use.  When this result is returned from cache,
    THE CODE BLOCK IS NOT EXECUTED.  Therefore, any values calculated by the
    code block that aren't listed as arguments to "extend" will
    not be created.  In practice this impacts relatively few queries, but do
    take care.

    <p>

    You can not simultaneously append to and cache a nonempty multirow.

    <p>

    Each row also has a column, rownum, automatically
    added and set to the row number, starting with 1. Note that this will
    override any column in the SQL statement named 'rownum', also if you're
    using the Oracle rownum pseudo-column.

    <p>

    If the <code>-local</code> is passed, the variables defined by
    db_multirow will be set locally (useful if you're compiling
    dynamic templates in a function or similar situations). Use the
    <code>-upvar_level</code> switch to specify how many levels up the
    variable should be set.

    The default behavior (i.e., when no "-local" is specified) depends
    on the calling environment: when "db_multirow" is called from an
    ADP file the variables are set in the ADP environment.  Otherwise,
    the default behavior is "-local".

    <p>

    You may supply a code block, which will be executed for each row in
    the loop. This is very useful if you need to make computations that
    are better done in Tcl than in SQL, for example using ns_urlencode
    or ns_quotehtml, etc. When the Tcl code is executed, all the columns
    from the SQL query will be set as local variables in that code. Any
    changes made to these local variables will be copied back into the
    multirow.

    <p>

    You may also add additional, computed columns to the multirow, using the
    <code>-extend { <i>col_1</i> <i>col_2</i> ... }</code> switch. This is
    useful for things like constructing a URL for the object retrieved by
    the query.

    <p>

    If you're constructing your multirow through multiple queries with the
    same set of columns, but with different rows, you can use the
    <code>-append</code> switch. This causes the rows returned by this query
    to be appended to the rows already in the multirow, instead of starting
    a clean multirow, as is the normal behavior. The columns must match the
    columns in the original multirow, or an error will be thrown.

    <p>

    Your code block may call <code>continue</code> in order to skip a row
    and not include it in the multirow. Or you can call <code>break</code>
    to skip this row and quit looping.

    <p>

    Notice the nonstandard numbering (everything else in Tcl starts at
    0); the reason is that the graphics designer, a non-programmer,
    may wish to work with row numbers.

    <p>

    Example:
    <pre>db_multirow -extend { user_url } users users_query {
        select user_id first_names, last_name, email from cc_users
    } {

    @param subst Perform Tcl substitution in xql-files. Possible values: all, none, vars, commands

    @param unclobber If set, will cause the proc to not overwrite local variables. Actually, what happens
    is that the local variables will be overwritten, so you can access them within the code block. However,

    Usage: <b><i>db_transaction</i></b> <i>transaction_code</i> [ on_error { <i>error_code_block</i> } ]

    Executes transaction_code with transactional semantics.  This
    means that either all of the database commands within
    transaction_code are committed to the database or none of them
    are.  Multiple <code>db_transaction</code>s may be nested (end
    transaction is transparently ns_db dml'ed when the outermost
    transaction completes).<p>

    To handle errors, use <code>db_transaction {transaction_code}
    on_error {error_code_block}</code>.  Any error generated in
    <code>transaction_code</code> will be caught automatically and
    process control will transfer to <code>error_code_block</code>
    with a variable <code>errmsg</code> set.  The error_code block can
    then clean up after the error, such as presenting a usable error
    message to the user.  Following the execution of
    <code>error_code_block</code> the transaction will be aborted.  If
    you want to explicitly abort the transaction, call
    <code>db_abort_transaction</code> from within the transaction_code
    block or the error_code block.<p>

    Example 1:<br> In this example, db_dml triggers an error, so
    control passes to the on_error block which prints a readable
    error.

    <pre>
    db_transaction {
        db_dml test "nonsense"
    } on_error {
        ad_return_error "Error in blah/foo/bar" "The error was: $errmsg"
    }
    </pre>

    Example 2:<br> In this example, the second command, "nonsense"
    triggers an error.  There is no on_error block, so the transaction
    is immediately halted and aborted.

    <pre>
    db_transaction {
        db_dml test {insert into footest values(1)}
        nonsense
        db_dml test {insert into footest values(2)}
    }

    DEPRECATED: it is unclear what the purpose of this proc is. For
                instance, on a Linux/Postgres installation,
                ad_column_type acs_objects object_type ->
                'numeric'. When things should happen based on the
                column type, maybe a better approach is to rely on
                more complete or consistent api, or on the information
                schema.

    <strong>TODO:</strong>
    This proc should probably be changed to take a final
    <code>file</code> argument, <em>only</em>, rather than the current
    <code>args</code> variable length argument list.  Currently, it is
    called only 4 places in OpenACS, and each place <code>args</code>,
    if used at all, is always "<code>-file $file</code>".  However,
    such a change might break custom code...  I'm not sure.
