UDFs?

Post by Aggie85 » Mon 29 May 2017 15:51

Howdy!

I believe I have FINALLY found a product (TVirtualQuery) that can replace TxQuery I have been using for the past 15 years or so!!

TxQuery allows UDFs (User Defined Functions) via some events that get called if the parser finds a function that can't be resolved.

Is there a way to do this with TVirtualQuery?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

No, such feature is not supported yet. Maybe,we will implement UDFs in one of the next versions.

We implemented the possibility of using UDF when working with VirtualQuery. To register a custom function, use the OnRegisterFunctions event:

Code: Select all

FunctionManager.RegisterFunction('MyFunction', 1, MyFirstFunction);
After implementing the MyFirstFunction fuction, for example as follows :

Code: Select all

function MyFirstFunction(MyValue: array of Variant): Variant;
begin
  case VarType(MyValue[0]) of
    varString: result:= 'MyFirstResult';
  end;
end;
You can use the function with the 'MyFunction' name in SQL query text.

Howdy Maxim!

That is GREAT news! I really appreciate it!

The last nightly build of VirtualDAC you sent me is working very well in my testing so far. I have only found one problem with TkbmMemTable but it goes away if I copy the TkbmMemTable to a TVirtualTable. I will try and see if I can reproduce the problem when I am done testing all my TVirtualQuery additions to my program.

Again, I really appreciate y'alls great support.

All the best,
