By the way, I have decided to how to display related fields from other tables by using SqlArray.

[code]
struct ConvCompany : Convert
{
Value Format(const Value &q) const
{
SQL * Select(COM_NAME).From(COMPANY).Where(COM_ID == q);
String company;
if(SQL.Fetch())
company = SQL[COM_NAME];
else
company = "";
return q.IsNull() ? Null : company;
}
};




WARNING: Fetching from SQL ("SQL.Fetch()") is NOT RECOMMENDED (based on expriences:)

It is way too simple to call something in the fetch loop which will issue different SQL statment through SQL.

Use "Sql sql; sql * Select....; sql.Fetch()" instead.






What do you mean? What is the difference between SQL and sql?
In my app I use this initialization code:
	MySqlSession session;
	if(!session.Connect(app.mysql_username, app.mysql_password, app.mysql_database, app.mysql_server)) {
		printf("Can't connect with MySql\n");
		PromptOK(t_("Can't connect with MySql"));
		return;
	}
	mysql_set_character_set(session, "utf8");
	
	SQL = session;
	Sql sql(session);

If you can - I want a short comment about the differences of my decision and your.

Yes. perhaps this is the best solution - to write complex pieces by hands.

By the way, thanks for the complex example.

I mean that SQL is global variable (well, technically, it is more comlicated, but it behaves just like global variable).

And the inherent problem with global variables is that they are problem in reentrant code.

void Sum(int id) {
  return SQL % Select(SqlSum(MONEY)).From(TABLE).Where(ID == id);
}

void PrintSums() {
  SQL * Select(NAME, MONEY_ID).From(TABLE);
  while(SQL.Fetch())
     Print(SQL[NAME], Sum(SQL[MONEY_ID]);
}


I have made this bug way too many times -> that is why I always have to warn about fetching from SQL.

Quote:


	MySqlSession session;
	if(!session.Connect(app.mysql_username, app.mysql_password, app.mysql_database, app.mysql_server)) {
		printf("Can't connect with MySql\n");
		PromptOK(t_("Can't connect with MySql"));
		return;
	}
	mysql_set_character_set(session, "utf8");
	
	SQL = session;
	Sql sql(session);




This corrent and in fact, you do not need to repeat

Sql sql(session);

because

Sql sql;

is the same as

Sql sql(SQL.GetSession());

There are two purposes for SQL - to serve as simple cursor for inster/delete/update and inline fetches AND to represent default global database connection so that you do not need to repeat 'session' all the time.

Just do not do explicit fetches from it, because while technically possible, it is a sure way how to shoot you leg:)

I understand the idea and faced similar issues in other environments.

And the solution is produced in general is simple and beautiful.

Just forget about the context reentrant.

Thanks for comment.

I went on the road, proposed in a previous message, and came across an odd job VectorMap. Here is a piece of code.


Value ConvNomencl::Format(const Value& q) const
{
	static VectorMap<int, String> nom;
	static Time lastcleartime;
	if(GetSysTime()-lastcleartime > 60){
		nom.Clear();
		lastcleartime=GetSysTime();
	}
	if(nom.GetCount()==0) nom.Add(0, " "); // <==adding empty entry there. 
	int q1=q;
	int f = nom.Find(q1);
	if(f > 0){
		String s;
		s = nom.Get(q1);
		return s;
	} else {
		Sql sql;
		sql * SqlSelect(NOM_ID,NOM_NAME).From(NOMENCL).Where(NOM_ID == q);
		String nomencl;
		if(sql.Fetch()) {
			int sid = sql[NOM_ID];
			nom.Add(sid, sql[NOM_NAME]);
			nomencl = sql[NOM_NAME];
		} else {
			nomencl = "";
		}
		return nomencl;
	}
}


After creating or cleaning object VectorMap, the first added item can not be found by .Find() method, and therefore the number of elements corresponding to the first element is continuously growing.

However, if you add the first empty element - then all the rest are working properly. This is well intended, or is it wrong?

if (f > 0) ?
Find returns position of element (0..N-1) or negative value if not found.

I want to say a special thank you for the construction with prefixes s_.

When many tables (about 5-10) with the same fields, the fields were named as NOM_NAME ED_NAME COM_NAME ...
And especially when the database is not mine and I can not rename a fields.

Overall, an excellent solution !

I make a table in which multiple fields of reference from other tables. The mapping of the field from another table I made with the converter.

Now it looks as follows:

converts.h

struct ConvCompany : Convert
{
	virtual Value Format(const Value& q) const;
};

struct ConvNomencl : Convert
{
	virtual Value Format(const Value& q) const;
};

struct ConvManager : Convert
{
	virtual Value Format(const Value& q) const;
};


converts.cpp:
Value ConvCompany::Format(const Value &q) const
{
	if(q.IsNull()) return Null;
	static VectorMap<int, String> comp;
	static Time lastcleartime;
	if(GetSysTime()-lastcleartime > 600){
		comp.Clear();
		lastcleartime=GetSysTime();
	}
	int f = comp.Find(int(q));
	if(f >= 0){
		return comp[f];
	} else {
		Sql sql;
		sql * Select(COM_NAME).From(COMPANY).Where(COM_ID == q);
		String company;
		if(sql.Fetch()) {
			int sid = int(q);
			company = sql[COM_NAME];
			comp.Add(sid, company);
		} else {
			company = "";
		}
		return company;
	}
}
Value ConvNomencl::Format(const Value& q) const
{
	if(q.IsNull()) return Null;
	static VectorMap<int, String> nom;
	static Time lastcleartime;
	if(GetSysTime()-lastcleartime > 600){
		nom.Clear();
		lastcleartime=GetSysTime();
	}
	int f = nom.Find(int(q));
	if(f >= 0){
		return nom[f];
	} else {
		Sql sql;
		sql * SqlSelect(NOM_ID,NOM_NAME).From(NOMENCL).Where(NOM_ID == q);
		String nomencl;
		if(sql.Fetch()) {
			int sid = sql[NOM_ID];
			nomencl = sql[NOM_NAME];
			nom.Add(sid, nomencl);
		} else {
			nomencl = "";
		}
		return nomencl;
	}
}

Value ConvManager::Format(const Value &q) const
{
	if(q.IsNull()) return Null;
	static VectorMap<int, String> man;
	static Time lastcleartime;
	if(GetSysTime()-lastcleartime > 600){
		man.Clear();
		lastcleartime=GetSysTime();
	}
	int f = man.Find(int(q));
	if(f >= 0){
		return man[f];
	} else {
		Sql sql;
		sql * SqlSelect(USR_REALNAME).From(USER).Where(USR_ID == q);
		String manager;
		if(sql.Fetch()) {
			int sid = int(q);
			manager = sql[USR_REALNAME];
			man.Add(sid, manager);
		} else {
			manager = "";
		}
		return manager;
	}
}


These converters differ only in the name of the table and field names. I want this to be in the form of a template, something like:
template <SqlId TBL ,SqlId ID, SqlId NAME,int CLEARTIME>
struct ConvDict : Convert
//ConvDict<COMPANY,COM_ID,COM_NAME,600>()
{
	virtual Value Format(const Value& q) const {
		if(q.IsNull()) return Null;
		static VectorMap<int, String> dict;
		static Time lastcleartime;
		if(GetSysTime()-lastcleartime > CLEARTIME){
			dict.Clear();
			lastcleartime=GetSysTime();
		}
		int f = dict.Find(int(q));
		if(f >= 0){
			return dict[f];
		} else {
			Sql sql;
			sql * Select(NAME).From(TBL).Where(ID == q);
			String s;
			if(sql.Fetch()) {
				int sid = int(q);
				s = sql[NAME];
				dict.Add(sid, s);
			} else {
				s = "";
			}
			return s;
		}
	}
};


But this code is not compiled, wrote that at this point can not be applied SqlId.

Can someone experienced with this?

How do make a template for the Converter, or Display?

Can you tell me why you didn't use 'join', 'where' or 'view', to connect those tables?

You don't really need a template for this. You may create a setter and initialize the converter with proper values. Something like...
struct ConvDict : Convert
{
    SqlId TBL ,ID, NAME, CLEARTIME;
public:
    void setValues(SqlId _TBL ,SqlId _ID, SqlId _NAME,int _CLEARTIME)
    {
        TBL = _TBL;
        ID = _ID;
        NAME = _NAME;
        CLEARTIME = _CLEARTIME;
    }
// ...

The only inconvenient is that you have to call setValues before using converter.

The reasons may be several:
1. SqlArray is not support join
2. This method saves SQL trafic and network speed on Huge Database.
3. View may not be fully compatible with some database engine.

template is interesting because you can create separate converters for different reference tables designating the tables at the time of use in the code.
(I once again repeat - a lot of reference tables, and many links to them from the main table.)

You can always connect tables using 'where', or just use 'join' + ArrayCtrl and fill it "manually". It is simpler than your solution.

If you have huge database, than you usually don't display everything at once. Beside, I guess, it is faster to send one query with 1000 rows, that 1000 queries with 1 row each.

Than you should use databases, that supports views.

What's about decision for notebook+mobile phone. If I use converters, theò users almost do not notice a slow connection, because each row of the table passed 5 integer numbers.

If I use a view or LeftJoin, then each row of the table must be sent to 100 bytes (5 fields of 20 bytes), that is slower to 10 times.

I've made this template!!!

Universal Lookup Convertor syntax like this:
(Single<ConvLookup<COMPANY,COM_ID,COM_NAME> >() )


Let's test:

dict.h
template<typename T> T& LookupSetup ( T& grid, SqlId& tablename, SqlId& colid, SqlId& colname, bool showid = false, bool valueiscode = true, SqlBool where = true );
template<>		DropGrid& LookupSetup ( DropGrid& grid, SqlId& tablename, SqlId& colid, SqlId& colname, bool showid, bool valueiscode, SqlBool where );

template<>		DropList& LookupSetup ( DropList& grid, SqlId& tablename, SqlId& colid, SqlId& colname, bool showid, bool valueiscode, SqlBool where );

And in AddColumn if GridCtrl you may write as this:
listvisitor.AddColumn ( VISR_COMPANY_ID, t_("Company"), 265 ).SetConvert(Single<ConvLookup<COMPANY,COM_ID,COM_NAME> >()).HeaderAlignCenter();
