Methods​

array​

array(pType, pSQL, pAlias?, pMaxRows?, pTimeout?): string[]

Executes a SQL query.

Parameters​

pType
number

The return type of the SQL query. If you omit this parameter, the contents of the first column in the first row is returned as a string. If you specify db.ROW, the contents of the first row is returned as a one-dimensional array; db.COLUMN returns the contents of the first column as a one-dimensional array.

pSQL
any

If entered as a string: The SQL query as text. If entered as an object: A query in the following format: [sqlString, [[value1, sqlType1], [value2, sqlType2], ...]. Optionally as an array of queries ([ [sql, alias, etc.], [sql, alias, etc.]].

pAlias?
string | number | boolean

The alias under which the database query is to be run.

pMaxRows?
number

The maximum number of rows to be returned (ORDER BY must be defined in the SQL statement!). If you specify maxRows, this restriction might apply to all tables indicated in the JOIN part of the query. If you do not want to restrict this value, enter 0.

pTimeout?
number

Returns​

string[]

Depending on the type, a string or array containing the result set. The result can never be null. All values are strings, NULL is returning an empty string.

Throws​

May throw an exception.

Example​

let data = db.array(db.COLUMN, "select RELATIONID from ORG join RELATION on ORGID = ORG_ID where PERS_ID is not null and ORG_ID = '33'", "Data_alias", db.DB_EOF, 10 * datetime.ONE_MINUTE);

Runs an SQL query.

Parameters​

pType
number

The return type of the SQL query. If you omit this parameter, the contents of the first column in the first row is returned as a string. If you specify db.ROW, the contents of the first row is returned as a one-dimensional array; db.COLUMN returns the contents of the first column as a one-dimensional array.
