TableRequestInfo

Overview

TableRequestInfo allows you to specify additional parameters for querying certain schema tables.

With TableRequestInfo you can:

  • specify custom parameters for getting data from parametrized schema tables.
  • specify if schema information is received inside the encoded schema table data.
  • specify the count of records you want to obtain.

Instances of the TableRequestInfo class are usually created on the client side and then passed into certain overloads of the DataAdapter.Fill method. Further TableRequestInfo will be serialized into GetData request that will be sent to the server.

Note: Delphi users do not need to deal with TableRequestInfo directly. It will be created automatically by the TDABaseDataAdapter when working with data tables.

constructor Create  reintroduce overload virtual    (declared in TROComplexType)

Creates a new instance.

constructor Create

constructor Create (TCollection)  override

Creates a new instance with given parameter.

constructor Create(aCollection: TCollection)

Parameters:

  • aCollection: collection

Assign (TPersistent)  override

procedure Assign(aSource: TPersistent)

Parameters:

  • aSource:

Assign (TPersistent)  override    (declared in TROComplexType)

Copies data from a given source.

procedure Assign(Source: TPersistent)

Parameters:

  • Source: Instance whose properties will be copied

AssignTo  override    (declared in TROComplexType)

Copies the properties of an object to a destination object.

procedure AssignTo(iDest: TPersistent)

Parameters:

  • iDest: destination object.

Clone    (declared in TROComplexType)

Creates and returns a second copy of the struct.

The new instance will be a deep copy of the original struct, all nested members that are arrays, structs or binaries will be duplicated as part of the cloning process, so that the new instance and its members will be completely independent from the original class.

function Clone: TROComplexType

ContentAsString    (declared in TROComplexType)

Returns the structure of the type in a string format.

property ContentAsString: string read

ContentAsXml    (declared in TROComplexType)

Returns the XML structure of the type in a string format.

property ContentAsXml: ROUTF8String read

FieldCount    (declared in TROComplexType)

property FieldCount: Integer read

FieldInfo    (declared in TROComplexType)

property FieldInfo[Index: Integer]: PTypeInfo read

FieldName    (declared in TROComplexType)

property FieldName[Index: Integer]: string read

FreeInternalProperties  protected override

procedure FreeInternalProperties

GetAttributeCount  virtual    (declared in TROComplexType)

IncludeSchema

Boolean property that specifies if table schema info s needed inside the result stream (true) or not (false, default). Usually, the client side already knows the schema, so passing the schema with the table data will cause some overhead, but if you need to update table schema info on the client side, you need to set that property to true.

For example, in DA for .NET you can create a new DataTable and try to fill it with data from a specified table. Since the structure for the new DataTable is not defined yet, you can establish to put the schema info with the table data, thus giving the data table a proper structure before it will be filled.

property IncludeSchema: Boolean read write

MaxRecords

This property allows to limit the count of rows of the request. Put it as -1 to receive all available records. 0 value will update the table schema without receiving any data.

Limiting the amount of transferred rows can reduce traffic between the DataAbstract server (middle tier) and the DataAbstract client (front-end tier). It will not affect traffic between the database and the DataAbstract server. For reducing traffic between the database and the DataAbstract server, you have to use other approaches, like Dynamic Where.

property MaxRecords: Integer read write

Parameters

Represents the array of the DataParameters for getting data from parametrized schema tables.

property Parameters: DataParameterArray read write

ReadComplex  override

Deserializes current class instance using provided serializer.

procedure ReadComplex(aSerializer: TObject)

Parameters:


SetFieldValue    (declared in TROComplexType)

procedure SetFieldValue(const aFieldName: string; const aValue: Variant)

Parameters:

  • aFieldName:
  • aValue:

SmartAssign    (declared in TROComplexType)

Copies specific data from a given source.

procedure SmartAssign(Source: TPersistent; TypeKinds: TTypeKinds)

Parameters:

  • Source: Instance whose properties will be copied
  • TypeKinds: Specifies which properties should be copied

TryGetAttribute    (declared in TROComplexType)

class function TryGetAttribute(aName: string; out aValue: string): Boolean

Parameters:

  • aName:
  • aValue:

UserFilter

Uses for specifying custom conditions for returning rows. For example, "CustomerType < 100". Note that all records will be read from the database, but only those that fit the custom condition will be passed to the client.

property UserFilter: ROUTF8String read write

WriteComplex  override

Serializes current class instance using provided serializer.

procedure WriteComplex(aSerializer: TObject)

Parameters:
