Description

Represents the type of an array-valued TFDParam object.

The ArrayType property represents the type of an array-valued TFDParam object, which can be:

• atScalar - a non array-valued parameter.
• atArray - an array-valued parameter, where the parameter is array-valued and unified with other parameters. Mostly it is an Array DML command parameter.
• atTable - an array-valued parameter, where the parameter has a DBMS-specific array data type.

Example

Here is a code snippet that shows how to use TFDParam.ArrayType=atTable to send arrays to server:

Delphi:

FDQuery1.SQL.Text := 'insert into FDQA_Array values (:id, :name, :items)';

FDQuery1.Params[0].AsInteger := 1;
FDQuery1.Params[1].AsString := 'test1';

// Setup array typed parameter
FDQuery1.Params[2].ArrayType := atTable;
FDQuery1.Params[2].ArraySize := 4;

// InterBase and Firebird require to specify full field name as parameter data type name
if (FDConnection1.RDBMSKind = TFDRDBMSKinds.Interbase) or (FDConnection1.RDBMSKind = TFDRDBMSKinds.Firebird) then
   FDQuery1.Params[2].DataTypeName := 'FDQA_ARRAY.ITEMS';

// Assign array type parameter values
FDQuery1.Params[2].AsStrings[0] := 'item1';
FDQuery1.Params[2].AsStrings[1] := 'item2';
FDQuery1.Params[2].AsStrings[2] := 'item3';
FDQuery1.Params[2].AsStrings[3] := 'item4';

// Execute SQL command
FDQuery1.ExecSQL;

C++:

FDQuery1->SQL->Text="Insert into FDQA_Array values (:id, :name, :items)";

FDQuery1->Params->Items[0]->AsInteger=1;
FDQuery1->Params->Items[1]->AsString="test1";

// Setup array typed parameter
FDQuery1->Params->Items[2]->ArrayType=atTable;
FDQuery1->Params->Items[2]->ArraySize=4;

// InterBase and Firebird require to specify full field name as parameter data type name
if (FDConnection1->RDBMSKind==TFDRDBMSKinds::Interbase || FDConnection1->RDBMSKind==TFDRDBMSKinds::Firebird)
    FDQuery1->Params->Items[2]->DataTypeName="FDQA_ARRAY.ITEMS";

// Assign array type parameter values
FDQuery1->Params->Items[2]->AsStrings[0]="item1";
FDQuery1->Params->Items[2]->AsStrings[1]="item2";
FDQuery1->Params->Items[2]->AsStrings[2]="item3";
FDQuery1->Params->Items[2]->AsStrings[3]="item4";

// Execute SQL command
FDQuery1->ExecSQL();

Note: This code snippet works for InterBase, Firebird and PostgreSQL.
