documentation confusion

Classic Servoy
1

i got the following helpful response from the servoy
support folks last week:

//get a specific table and get column info
var jstable = databaseManager.getTable('user_data','orders');
var columnNamesArray = jstable.getColumnNames();

which was exactly what i needed; but…i can’t seem to
get an answer to the following question: the function
databaseManager.getTable returns an object of type
JSTable; is this a servoy-defiend object? or is it a
‘standard’ javascript object? where is it defined?
and, most importantly, where can i get documentation
on this, and other related objects, like JSColumn?

these items are not described in any of the servoy pdf
documents, or in the help system that comes with
the product.

i’ve also searched the web, and found very little information
on them. i’m so confused!

thanks in advance.

We extended the sample data and showed the JSTable/JSColumn as return types under databaseManager in Servoy 2.0 rc10.

sample:

//get a specific table and get column info
var jstable = databaseManager.getTable('user_data','orders');
var tableSQLName = jstable.getSQLName();
var columnNamesArray = jstable.getColumnNames();
var firstColumnName = columnNamesArray[0];
var jscolumn = jstable.getColumn(firstColumnName);
var columnLength = jscolumn.getLength();
var columnType = jscolumn.getType();
var columnSQLName = jscolumn.getSQLName();

columnType is the same integer as found in: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api … .sql.Types.
