The operations "thousandFive" and "incrementEmployeeSalaryEx" are used in demonstrating the query result export functionality in a data service. The query used in "thousandFive" operation exports the a result value with the name "increment". This increment value is taken in as a parameter by the query in the "incrementEmployeeSalaryEx" operation.
The figure below shows the dbs fragment that defines this behavior:
<query id="thousandFiveQuery" useConfig="default"> <sql>select 1500 as value</sql> <result element="Numbers" rowName="Number"> <element name="value" column="value" export="increment" xsdType="xs:integer" /> </result> </query> <query id="incrementEmployeeSalaryQuery" useConfig="default"> <sql>update Employees set salary=salary+? where employeeNumber=?</sql> <properties> <property name="org.wso2.ws.dataservice.autocommit">true</property> </properties> <param name="increment" sqlType="DOUBLE" original="1" /> <param name="employeeNumer" sqlType="INTEGER" ordinal="2" /> </query>
- employeeByNumber(1002)
- begin_boxcar()
- thousandFive()
- incrementEmployeeSalaryEx(1002)
- end_boxcar()
- employeeByNumber(1002)
The return values from the first "employeeByNumber()" call and the second have a difference of 1500, which is the amount incremented within the boxcarring session. The 1500 value is passed into "incrementEmployeeSalaryEx" operation by the "thousandFive" operation.
