Data type for Select Command result set
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 12 comments
I'm using a SelectCommand component, and I'm choosing Rows Only and outputting it to a result set called vMarkets (only one field called Region). I need to use those results to populate the values in a checkbox list. I have tried to select the vMarkets[] array for the values, but it doesn't show up. I believe this is because the Data type specified in the checkbox list settings is just "Text" and not a specific type associated with the results. How would I get this working?

You should be able to change
You should be able to change the data type to vMarkets.
Then it will ask you for the display field.
In the data type selector
In the data type selector window, there are no listings for a data type called vMarkets. I have conencted the SelectCommand objects to the form builder as well.
I probably wasn't clear. The
I probably wasn't clear. The data type will be whatever the default name for the output for the select command thing is.
I'm assumming its somethingsomethingResult. Look for that in the list.
Once you find that you will be able to select the vmarkets variable.
OK, I got the data type
OK, I got the data type working now, but after that's selected, when I go to choose Items, I can't seem to get anything to work...nothing's coming up under process variables, and mappings don't seem to make sense...how do I populate the checkbox items with the data that will pull from the query once the data type is correctly assigned?
Wait, actually, I didn't find
Wait, actually, I didn't find the data type (was lookign at a residual library that I had loaded). Take a look at the screenshot. The types are not getting pushed through.
Thanks
Tested
Ok I tested that control. It seems to be a more difficult way to get a list from a database.
I would vote for you creating an integration library that does the same thing. The data types and usage
of the integration library would be easier to use.
From what I can tell you would need 3 integration libraries GetMarkes, GetQueues and GetSelMarkets.
Tying those to a control would be alot easier.
That's the problem...I can't
That's the problem...I can't get teh integration libraries to work with Oracle. I have another forum post from a few days ago about this. I can create the integration library using the same query and conn string that are working in the SelectCommand component and when it runs, the debugger spits out a "ORA-00942: table or view does not exist" error. I know this is a bug in the integration library, as the query works perfectly in every other component, so I'm kinda stuck.
This may Not work
If you have access to Microsoft Access, can you create linked tables to the oracle database then attach your project to the access database instead. Its cludgy but may work around the bug temporarily.
