Accessing and Manipulating Data in Multiple Tables

WSO2 SP allows you to perform CUD operations (i.e., inserting updating and deleting data) and retrieval queries for multiple normalized tables within a single data store. This is supported via the siddhi-store-rdbms extension.

Performing CUD operations for multiple tables

In order to perform CUD operations, the system parameter named perform.CUD.operations needs to be set to true in deployment.yaml file.

The syntax for a Siddhi query to perform a CUD operation in multiple tables is as follows:

from TriggerStream#rdbms:cud(<STRING> datasource.name, <STRING> query)
select numRecords 
insert into OutputStream;

e.g., If you need to change the details of a customer in customer details table connected to a datasource named,SAMPLE_DB a Siddhi query can be written as follows:

from Trigger Stream#rdbms:cud('SAMPLE_DB', 'UPDATE Customers ON CUSTOMERS SET ContactName='Alfred Schmidt', City='Frankfurt' WHERE CustomerID=1;')
select numRecords 
insert into OutputStream

Retrieving data from multiple tables

In order to retrieve information from multiple tables in a data store, the syntax is as follows:

from TriggerStream#rdbms:query(<STRING> dataource.name, <STRING> query, <STRING> stream definition)
select <attributes>
insert into OutputStream

e.g., If you need to find matching records in both customer and orders table based on orderId and customerId in the SAMPLE_DB database, a Siddhi query can be written as follows:

from TriggerStream#rdbms:query('SAMPLE_DB', 'SELECT Orders.OrderID, Customers.CustomerName, Orders.OrderDate FROM Orders INNER JOIN Customers ON Orders.CustomerID=Customers.CustomerID', 'orderId string, customerName string, orderDate string')
select orderId, customerName, orderData
insert into OutputStream;
