CATALOGMANAGER.addrow

Adds a row to a table using the CATALOGMANAGER command.

Syntax

<CATALOGMANAGER>
<ARGUMENT NAME="ftcmd" VALUE="addrow"/>
<ARGUMENT NAME="tablename" VALUE="table"/>
[<ARGUMENT NAME="urlcolumnname_folder" VALUE="folder name"/>]
[<ARGUMENT NAME="columnname_file" VALUE="file name"/>]
[<ARGUMENT NAME="columnname" VALUE="some column name"/>]
</CATALOGMANAGER>   

Parameters

ftcmd (required)

Value must be set to addrow.

tablename (required)

The name of the table where you plan to add a row.

urlcolumnname_folder (optional)

A subfolder name to store the uploaded file. The file is then stored under the upload folder and the subfolder. The upload folder is specified in the SystemInfo table's defdir column. Note that you can have multiple upload columns.

Upload columns are designated by the prefix url. The column name in the table must begin with url (for example, urltext). The argument name must include the table's column name with _folder appended to the column name (for example, urltext_folder).

columnname_file (required for non-binary files)

The name of the file you want to upload. The column name in the table must begin with url (for example, urltext). The argument name must have _file appended to the table's column name (for example, urltext_file).

columnname (optional)

The value of each column in the row to be added. The columnname is a table column name.

Description

The addrow command adds a row to a table.

Note When adding a row to a table of type obj (an object table), the system creates Variables.newid, which contains the system-assigned unique ID for the new record.

errno

The possible values of errno include:

Value	Description
-103	No such table.
-104	No table definition.
-105	Database error.

Example

The following example adds a new row to the table named movies.

<SETVAR NAME="errno" VALUE="0"/>
<CATALOGMANAGER SCOPED="GLOBAL">
   <ARGUMENT NAME="ftcmd" VALUE="addrow" />
   <ARGUMENT NAME="tablename" VALUE="movies" />
   <ARGUMENT NAME="Reviewer" VALUE="John Doe" />
</CATALOGMANAGER>  
<IF COND="IsError.Variables.errno=true">
	 	 <THEN>
	 	 <!--Handle error-->
	 	 </THEN>
</IF>

The next example uses a table called CatalogExample. The default upload column is
/export/home/temp. The table has the following columns:

• id (table's primary key)

• urlText

• description

• quantity

The form uses the CatalogManager command. The row is added to the table when the user clicks the addrow button and the file, AddrowExample.txt is added to the
/export/home/temp/CatalogForm/.

<FORM NAME="f1"  
      ACTION="CatalogManager" 
      METHOD="post" 
   <INPUT TYPE="hidden"
          NAME="tablename"
          VALUE="CatalogExample"/>
   KEY: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="id" VALUE="2"/> 
   <BR/>
   URL: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="urlText" 
                           VALUE="this text will be put in a file called AddrowExample.txt"/> 
   <BR/>
   DESC: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="description"
                            VALUE="example record"/> 
   <BR/>
   QUANTITY: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="quantity" VALUE="1"/><BR/>
   FILE: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="urlText_file"
                            VALUE="AddrowExample.txt"/> 
   <BR/>
   FOLDER: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="urlText_folder"
                              VALUE="CatalogForm"/> 
   <BR/>
   FTCMD: <INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="ftcmd" VALUE="addrow"/>        
   <BR/>
</FORM>

The next example uses the same table, CatalogExample. This example is similar to the previous example, except that the user browses and selects a file to upload. In addition, the columnname_file parameter is not included in this example because the file is uploaded in binary mode.

<FORM NAME="f1"
      ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" 
      ACTION="CatalogManager"
      METHOD="post" 
  <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="tablename" VALUE="CatalogExample"/>
   KEY: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="id" VALUE="3"/> 
   <BR/>
   DESC:   <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="description" 
                              VALUE="second record"/>
   <BR/>
   QUANTITY: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="quantity" VALUE="1"/> 
   <BR/>
   FILE:  <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="urlText" VALUE=""/>
   <BR/>
   FOLDER: <INPUT TYPE="text"  NAME="urlText_folder"
                               VALUE="CatalogForm"/>
   <BR/>
   <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="ftcmd" VALUE="addrow"/>
   <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Add"/>
</FORM>
