dataSave() returns true but does not save

[maria]

I am saving a record from the current foundset but the changes are not saved in the database:

Code: Select all

   var _siteRecord = foundset.getRecord(foundset.getSelectedIndex());
   databaseManager.saveData(_siteRecord);

I inspected _siteRecord, it returns the record with the expected changes done by the user.
The save command returns true. However nothing changes in the database.
What could this be?

In another scenario, databaseManager.saveData(_record) returns false but .getFailedRecords() returns an empty array.
Why would this happen?

Cheer,
Maria

Did you check the database log? Any error message there?

if you cal databaseManager.getEditedRecords() right before you call save
is that record that you try to save next in that array?

Thanks Johan,
I've already solved the problem a few days ago but will keep in mind this way of checking edited records.

The problem came up again.
I check the edited records and can see the record that has been edited with all appropriate changes.
The form that the record is created in was modified before that: the datasource was changed to another table, but everything seems ok, the form data reflect whatever is in the database table, deleteRecord() works fine on the same form...

Any other clues?

Hi Maria

If I understand you right, you have two problems:
- First, the result of databaseManager.saveData() returns a non predictable result
- Second, the saveData does not save the data into the DB

I also figured out that I better ignore the result of the saveData(). I check for databaseManager.getFailedRecords() to check if a save was successful. This works fine for us.

If a save fails I ckeck:
- Is the primary key filled out and unique?
- do I have a constraints on the table in the DB which prevents a save?
- is there a table event in Servoy (onRecordUpdate or onRecordInsert) preventing a save?
- databaseManager.getFailedRecords()
- was auto save true or false?
- record.exception.getMessage()
- databaseManager.getLastDatabaseMessage()

Good luck and regards

what are the results of:

var before = databaseManager.getEditedRecords();
// does before really have the right changed values..
var saved = databaseManagger.saveData();
var after= databaseManager.getEditedRecords();
var failed= databaseManager.getFailedRecords();

By the way databaseManager.saveData() can return false without failedReccords giving results
if the validation does fail in servoy (onDataChange events or table events) then it will just return false.
