Parameters

parameter EXTENTQUERYSPEC = Name,SSN,Home.City,Home.State;
Inherited description: The EXTENTQUERYSPEC parameter defines the properties to be retrieved in addition to the IDKEY value for the built-in Extent query.

Persistent classes should define a value of for EXTENTQUERYSPEC if they wish to include additional properties in their built-in Extent query.

For example:

parameter EXTENTQUERYSPEC = "Name,SSN,Age";

Methods

method Addition(x As %Integer = 1, y As %Integer = 1) as %Integer
A simple, sample method: add two numbers (x and y) and return the result.
classmethod CurrentAge(date As %Date = "") as %Integer
This class method calculates a current age given a date of birth date.
method NinetyNine() as %Integer
A simple, sample expression method: returns the value 99.
method PrintPerson()
Prints the property Name to the console.
classmethod PrintPersons()
Invoke the PrintPerson() on all Person objects within the database.
classmethod PrintPersonsSQL()
Prints out data on all persons within the database using SQL to iterate over all the person data.
classmethod StoredProcTest(name As %String, ByRef response As %String) as %Integer [ SQLProc = Stored_Procedure_Test ]
Projected as the stored procedure: Stored_Procedure_Test
This is a sample of how to define an SQL stored procedure using a class method. This method can be called as a stored procedure via ODBC or JDBC.
In this case this method returns the concatenation of a string value.
classmethod UpdateProcTest(zip As %String, city As %String, state As %String) as %Integer [ SQLProc = Person_UpdateProcTest ]
Projected as the stored procedure: Person_UpdateProcTest
This is a sample of how to define an SQL stored procedure using a class method. This method can be called as a stored procedure via ODBC or JDBC.
This method performs an SQL update operation on the database using embedded SQL. The update modifies the embedded properties Home.City and Home.State for all rows whose Home.Zip is equal to zip.

Queries

query ByName(name As %String = "")
SQL Query:
SELECT ID, Name, DOB, SSN FROM Sample.Person WHERE (Name %STARTSWITH :name) ORDER BY Name
A sample class query that defines a result set that returns Person data ordered by Name.
This query can be used within another Caché method (using the %ResultSet class), from Java, or from ActiveX.
This query is also accessible from ODBC and/or JDBC as the SQL stored procedure SP_Sample_By_Name.

Indexes

index ($Person on ) [Extent, Type = bitmap];
index (IDKEY on ) [IdKey, Type = key];
Index methods: IDKEYCheck(), IDKEYDelete(), IDKEYExists(), IDKEYOpen(), IDKEYSQLCheckUnique(), IDKEYSQLExists(), IDKEYSQLFindPKeyByConstraint(), IDKEYSQLFindRowIDByConstraint()
index (NameIDX on Name) [Data = Name];
Define an index for Name.
Index methods: NameIDXExists()
index (SSNKey on SSN) [Unique];
Define a unique index for SSN.
Index methods: SSNKeyCheck(), SSNKeyCheckUnique(), SSNKeyDelete(), SSNKeyExists(), SSNKeyOpen(), SSNKeySQLCheckUnique(), SSNKeySQLExists(), SSNKeySQLFindPKeyByConstraint(), SSNKeySQLFindRowIDByConstraint()
index (ZipCode on Home.Zip) [Type = bitmap];
Define an index for embedded object property ZipCode.
