Conflict resolution scripts for statement-based uploads commonly require access to the old and new values of rows uploaded from the remote database. This event allows you to handle the old values of rows uploaded from the remote database.

Parameters

In the following table, the description provides the SQL data type. If you are writing your script in Java or .NET, you should use the appropriate corresponding data type. See SQL-Java data types and SQL-.NET data types.

In SQL scripts, you can specify event parameters by name or with a question mark, but you cannot mix names and question marks within a script. If you use question marks, the parameters must be in the order shown below and are optional only if no subsequent parameters are specified (for example, you must use parameter 1 if you want to use parameter 2). If you use named parameters, you can specify any subset of the parameters in any order.

Default action

None.

Remarks

When a MobiLink client sends an updated row to the MobiLink server, it includes not only the new values (the post-image), but also a copy of the old row values (the pre-image). When the pre-image does not match the current values in the consolidated database, a conflict is detected.

This event allows you to save pre-image values to a table. You can use this event to assist in developing conflict resolution procedures for statement-based updates. The parameters for this event hold old row values from the remote database before the update is performed on the corresponding consolidated database table. This event is also used to insert rows in statement-based, forced-conflict mode.

The script for this event is usually an insert statement that inserts the old row into a temporary table for use by a resolve_conflict script.

You can have one upload_old_row_insert script for each table in the remote database.

For Java and .NET applications, this script must return valid SQL.

SQL example

This example handles updates made on the product table in the remote database. The script inserts the old value of the row into a global temporary table named product_conflict. The final column of the table identifies the row as an old row.

CALL ml_add_table_script(
 'ver1',
 'table1',
 'upload_old_row_insert',
 'INSERT INTO DBA.product_conflict (
   id, 
   name, 
   size, 
   quantity, 
   unit_price, 
   row_type )
  VALUES ( 
   {ml r.id}, 
   {ml r.name}, 
   {ml r.size}, 
   {ml r.quantity}, 
   {ml r.unit_price}, 
   ''Old'' )' )

Java example

The following call to a MobiLink system procedure registers a Java method called uploadOldRowInsertTable as the script for the upload_old_row_insert table event when synchronizing the script version ver1.

CALL ml_add_java_table_script(
  'ver1',
  'table1',
  'upload_old_row_insert',
  'ExamplePackage.ExampleClass.uploadOldRowInsertTable'
)

Following is the sample Java method uploadOldRowInsertTable. It dynamically generates an INSERT statement.

public String uploadOldRowInsertTable() {
  return( "old" + getCols(_curTable) +
    "values" + getNamedParams(_curTable)); 
}

.NET example

The following call to a MobiLink system procedure registers a .NET method called UploadOldRowInsertTable as the script for the upload_old_row_insert table event when synchronizing the script version ver1.

CALL ml_add_dnet_table_script(
  'ver1',
  'table1',
  'upload_old_row_insert',
  'TestScripts.Test.UploadOldRowInsertTable'
)

Following is the sample .NET method UploadOldRowInsertTable. It dynamically generates an UPLOAD statement.

public string UploadOldRowInsertTable() {
  return( "old" + GetCols(_curTable) +
    "values" + GetNamedParams(_curTable)); 
}
