Direct Known Subclasses:

DeleteRowsCommand, InsertRowsCommand, UpdateRowsCommand

public abstract class SaveRowsCommand
extends PostCommand<SaveRowsResponse>

Base class for commands that make changes to rows exposed from a given query in a given schema. Clients should use UpdateRowsCommand, InsertRowsCommand or DeleteRowsCommand and not this class directly.

All three of these sub-classes post similar JSON to the server, so this class does all the common work. The client must supply three things: the schemaName, the queryName and an array of 'rows' (i.e. Maps). The rows are added via the addRow(Map) or setRows(List) methods.

All data exposed from the LabKey Server is organized into a set of queries contained in a set of schemas. A schema is simply a group of queries, identified by a name (e.g., 'lists' or 'study'). A query is particular table or view within that schema (e.g., 'People' or 'Peptides'). Currently, clients may update rows in base tables only, and not in joined views. Therefore the query name must be the name of a table in the schema.

To view the schemas and queries exposed in a given folder, add a Query web part to your portal page and choose the option "Show the list of tables in this schema" in the part configuration page. Alternatively, if it is exposed, click on the Query tab across the top of the main part of the page.

Examples:

  Connection cn = new Connection("http://localhost:8080", user, password);

  //Insert Rows Command
  InsertRowsCommand cmd = new InsertRowsCommand("lists", "People");

  Map<String,Object> row = new HashMap<String,Object>();
  row.put("FirstName", "Insert");
  row.put("LastName", "Test");

  cmd.addRow(row); //can add multiple rows to insert many at once
  SaveRowsResponse resp = cmd.execute(cn, "Api Test");

  //get the newly-assigned primary key value from the first return row
  int newKey = resp.getRows().get(0).get("Key");

  //Update Rows Command
  UpdateRowsCommand cmdUpd = new UpdateRowsCommand("lists", "People");
  row = new HashMap<String,Object>();
  row.put("Key", newKey);
  row.put("LastName", "Test UPDATED");
  cmdUpd.addRow(row);
  resp = cmdUpd.execute(cn, "Api Test");

  //Delete Rows Command
  DeleteRowsCommand cmdDel = new DeleteRowsCommand("lists", "People");
  row = new HashMap<String,Object>();
  row.put("Key", newKey);
  cmdDel.addRow(row);
  resp = cmdDel.execute(cn, "Api Test");
