+ | Recital supports a collection of Visual FoxPro compatible remote data connectivity functions, which can be used to handle gateway connections to third party data sources. | ||

+ | ===Overview of Recital Data Objects (RDO)=== | ||
+ | The RDO functions can be used for data access for both remote third-party/Recital and local Recital data sources. The functions allow a connection to be made to the data, SQL queries to be sent and the results to be loaded into a '''result set''' object for further processing. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each MySQL compatible RDO function also has a MySQL-named equivalent for ease of use, e.g. [[RDO_CONNECT()|rdo_connect()]] and [[RDO_CONNECT()|mysql_connect()]] are synonyms. | ||

Remote Data Connectivity
Overview of Remote Data Connectivity Functions
Recital supports a collection of Visual FoxPro compatible remote data connectivity functions, which can be used to handle gateway connections to third party data sources.
Connecting to a Data Source
- sqlconnect() - connect to a data source
numeric = sqlconnect(connection as numeric | serverdatasource as character) numeric = sqlconnect(dsn as character [, user as character [, password as character [, shared as logical]]])
- sqlstringconnect() - connect to a data source using a gateway connection string
numeric = sqlconnect([shared as logical,] connectionstring as character [, shared as logical])
Disconnecting from a Data Source
- sqldisconnect() - disconnect from a data source
numeric = sqldisconnect(connection as numeric)
Sending SQL Queries and Statements
- sqlprepare() - prepare an SQL statement that will be executed by the SQLEXEC() function
numeric = sqlprepare(connection as numeric, sqlstatement as character [, cursor as character])
- sqlexec() - send an SQL statement to a data source
numeric = sqlexec(connection as numeric [, sqlstatement as character [, cursor as character]])
- sqlcancel() - request that an executing SQL statement be cancelled
numeric = sqlcancel(connection as numeric)
SQL Transactions
- sqlcommit() - commit a transaction
numeric = sqlcommit(connection as numeric)
- sqlrollback() - rollback a transaction
numeric = sqlrollback(connection as numeric)
Processing Result Sets
- sqlmoreresult() - check if more results sets are available and if so, copy next results set to a cursor
numeric = sqlmoreresults(connection as numeric)
Getting and Setting Properties
- sqlgetprop() - query property settings for a connection or the environment
expression = sqlgetprop(connection as numeric, setting as character)
- sqlsetprop() - set property settings for a connection
numeric = sqlsetprop(connection as numeric, setting as character [, value as expression])
Getting Table and Field Information
- sqltables() - store data source table names to a table
numeric = sqltables(connection as numeric [, tabletypes as character] [, cursorname as character])
- sqlcolumns() - store column information to a cursor
logical | numeric = sqlcolumns(connection as numeric, tablename as character [, format as character] [, cursorname as character])
Examples
// sqlstringconnect() - connect to a data source using a gateway connection string nStatHand=sqlstringconnect("recital@localhost:user/password-southwind.tcpip",.T.) if nStatHand < 1 messagebox("Cannot make connection", 16, "SQL Connect Error") else messagebox("Connection made", 48, "SQL Connect Message") store "00010" to myVar // sqlprepare() - prepare an SQL statement that will be executed by the sqlexec() function sqlprepare(nStatHand, "select * from example where account_no = ?myVar", "restab") // sqlexec() - send an SQL statement sqlexec(nStatHand) display all // sqlsetprop() - set property settings for a connection nSetEnd = sqlsetprop(nStatHand,"Transactions",2) if nSetEnd = 1 messagebox("Manual Transactions enabled",0,"Transaction") else if messagebox("Unable to enable Manual Transactions, continue?",36,"Transaction") = 6 // sqldisconnect() - disconnect from a data source sqldisconnect(nStatHand) return endif endif // sqlexec() - send an SQL statement nRet=sqlexec(nStatHand,"insert into example (account_no, title, last_name, first_name,; initial, street, city, state, zip, limit, start_date) values ('00200', 'Mr', 'Doe',; 'John', 'L', '1 High Street', 'Beverly', 'MA', '01916', 12000, {05/12/2010})") // sqlgetprop() - query property settings for a connection if sqlgetprop(nStatHand, "Transactions") = 2 if messagebox("Commit Insert?",36,"Transaction") = 6 // sqlcommit() - commit a transaction messagebox("sqlcommit() returned " + etos(sqlcommit(nStatHand)),0,"Transaction") else // sqlrollback() - rollback a transaction messagebox("sqlrollback() returned " + etos(sqlrollback(nStatHand)),0,"Transaction") endif endif // sqlsetprop() - set property settings for a connection nSetEnd = sqlsetprop(nStatHand, "Transactions",1) if nSetEnd = 1 messagebox("Automatic Transactions enabled",0,"Transaction") else messagebox("Unable to enable Automatic Transactions.",0,"Transaction") endif endif // sqldisconnect() - disconnect from a data source sqldisconnect(nStatHand)
Overview of Recital Data Objects (RDO)
The RDO functions can be used for data access for both remote third-party/Recital and local Recital data sources. The functions allow a connection to be made to the data, SQL queries to be sent and the results to be loaded into a result set object for further processing.
Each MySQL compatible RDO function also has a MySQL-named equivalent for ease of use, e.g. rdo_connect() and mysql_connect() are synonyms.
Connecting to a Data Source
- rdo_connect() - connect to a data source
numeric = rdo_connect(servertype as character, hostname_or_ip as character, account as character, password as character [, database as character])
- rdo_select_db() - set the active database for a data source connection
numeric = rdo_select_db(database as character [, connection as numeric])
Disconnecting from a Data Source
- rdo_close() - close a data source opened with rdo_connect()
numeric = rdo_close(connection as numeric)
Sending SQL Queries and Statements
- rdo_exec() - execute a non-SELECT statement
numeric = rdo_exec(statement as string [, connection as numeric])
- rdo_query() - return a result set object for a SELECT query
object = rdo_query(query as string [, connection as numeric])

Using Recital Client/Server
Using Recital with MySQL
Using Recital with PostgreSQL
Using Recital with Oracle
Requirements:
- Make sure the Oracle environment (ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID etc.) is set up before starting the Recital Server. If not, you will see the error ORA-01019. A call to the Oracle environment setup script can be added to the /etc/init.d/recital script if your Recital Server is set to run on startup.
- The Recital Oracle Gateway requires the Oracle libclntsh.so shared library. If this file is unknown to ld.so.conf, add it using the ldconfig command.
