LIST data type in CREATE TABLE declaration SOLVED (due to Bastiaan)

[Jean-Marc Voegeli]

Hello Bastiaan,

Thank you for your answer.

It works very well and I do not have to use the DML file system of Omnis any more as a work around.

That is what I did :

I have a base object which add a new record to the database by doing iDataList.$add() and when user confirmed it does a 'Do iDataList.$doinserts()' else it calls the iDataList.$undoinserts() method.

-----

I asked myself how to do two things different at the same times :

1) adding the other fields of the schema by $doinserts()
2) adding the list column by doing @[lvList]

and after doing iDataList.$doinserts() ?
and would that not add another record with only the list column not empty ?

-----

There is a statement object buried into the sql list.
When I log on, a statement object is created and put into the list : iDataList.$statementobject

-----

When I want to put value into the database I must do

1) iDataList.$doinserts() then

2)
Do iDataList.$statementobject.$prepare('INSERT INTO Preferences (p_ChoixChapitres) VALUES (@[vListeDesChoix])') Returns lvOK
If (lvOK)
Do iDataList.$statementobject.$execute() Returns lvOK
End If

and when I want to update that list I must do :

1) iDataList.$doupdates() then

2)
Do iDataList.$statementobject.$prepare('UPDATE Preferences SET p_ChoixChapitres = @[vListeDesChoix]') Returns vOK
If (vOK)
Do iDataList.$statementobject.$execute() Returns vOK
End If

and everything went smoothly due to Bastiaan.

Thank you very very much indeed.


Best regards


PS : I did not quite understood how to complement the iDataList.$undoinserts() method so I waited after the user click "confirm" to change the list column.
