Retrieve the query results

Level: intermediate

Dataset string by the specified primary key

Example

Retrieve a particular dataset string by the specified primary key

Example that retrieves a particular dataset string

/* Retrieve the ID of the mini page object. */
var recordId = this.get("Id");
/* Create an instance of the Terrasoft.EntitySchemaQuery class with the Contact root schema. */
var esq = this.Ext.create("Terrasoft.EntitySchemaQuery", {
    rootSchemaName: "Contact"
});
/* Add a column that contains the name of the account’s primary contact. */
esq.addColumn("Account.PrimaryContact.Name", "PrimaryContactName");
/* Retrieve one record from the selection by the ID of the mini page object. Display the record in the information box. */
esq.getEntity(recordId, function(result) {
    if (!result.success) {
        // For example, error processing/logging.
        this.showInformationDialog("Data query error");
        return;
    }
    this.showInformationDialog(result.entity.get("PrimaryContactName"));
}, this);

note

If you retrieve lookup columns, the this.get() returns the object, not ID of the record in the database. To retrieve the ID, use the value property. For example, this.get('Account').value.

Resulting dataset

Example

Retrieve the entire resulting dataset.

Example that retrieves the entire dataset

var message = "";
/* Create an instance of the Terrasoft.EntitySchemaQuery class with the Contact root schema. */
var esq = Ext.create("Terrasoft.EntitySchemaQuery", {
    rootSchemaName: "Contact"
});
/* Add a column that contains the name of the account connected to the contact. */
esq.addColumn("Account.Name", "AccountName");
/* Add a column that contains the name of the account’s primary contact. */
esq.addColumn("Account.PrimaryContact.Name", "PrimaryContactName");
/* Retrieve the entire record collection and display it in the information box. */
esq.getEntityCollection(function (result) {
    if (!result.success) {
        /* For example, error processing/logging. */
        this.showInformationDialog("Data query error");
        return;
    }
    result.collection.each(function (item) {
        message += "Account name: " + item.get("AccountName") +
        " - primary contact name: " + item.get("PrimaryContactName") + "\n";
    });
    this.showInformationDialog(message);
}, this);
