Okay, for anyone who is interested, the trick to adding and dropping
tables (or executing any odd sql) when using sqlYoga is that you
have to tell sqlYoga that the schema has changed.
The db schema that SQL Yoga caches shouldn't affect running random SQL
commands. The schema is used when you work with SQL Query and SQL
Record objects.
The easiest way to do that is reset the schema with dbschema_reset,
then reconnect to the database. JUST reconnecting will NOT reload
the schema causing you all kinds of headaches in the future.
dbschema_reset thePriDB
dbconn_disconnect thePriDB
dbconn_Connect thePriDB
You should use dbobject_reloadSchema for this.
http://www.bluemangolearning.com/revolution/docs/sql_yoga/api_docs/Documents/stack_libSQLYoga_command_dbobject_reloadSchema.htm
You can find more info about the schema in the lesson "Introduction to
the Database Object and Database Schema":
http://revolution.screenstepslive.com/spaces/revolution/manuals/sqlyoga/lessons/6870-Introduction-to-the-Database-Object-and-Database-Schema
Also, any queries you use with sqlYoga will AUTOMATICALLY reconnect
to the database.
SQL Yoga looks for the MySQL has gone away error and tries to
reconnect to the database automatically before returning an error.
BUT if you are using the REV IDE to execute what I will call
"foreign" queries, that is queries not run through sqlYoga, AND your
connection has timed out, you will have problems, SO...
I now use dbconn_connect before executing "foreign" queries.
put "DROP TABLE 'myhostname'.'mytablename'" into theSQL --
foreign query
dbconn_Connect thePriDB -- make sure we are currently connected
put dbconn_get("connection id", theConnection, theDBObject) into
theID -- get the current dbid
revExecuteSQL theID, theSQL -- shoot the wild ass (just checking
to see if you are reading the comments)
As I mentioned in the previous email you can use dbconn_executeSQL
here which is easier.
-- now reload the schema
dbschema_reset thePriDB -- wipes the database object clean
dbconn_disconnect thePriDB -- may not need to do this...
dbconn_Connect thePriDB -- this will reload the schema
dbobject_save thePriDB -- ALWAYS SAVE YOUR OBJECTS!
Your code here can be:
dbobject_reloadSchema thePriDB
dbobject_save thePriDB -- ALWAYS SAVE YOUR OBJECTS!
Note that SQL Yoga is going to query your database again to get all of
the table information. This means you should do this after finishing
all alterations to your database.
