@PhatWabbit - I'm not sure we built out all of the update functions on the API yet. We focused first on the read and create functions. @emiliom and @lsetiawan - do you have any additional thoughts on this?
That's correct. The update
services (https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2PythonAPI/blob/master/odm2api/services/updateService.py) have not been fleshed out, for the most part.
My suggestion would be to reuse the connection setup at the start of an odm2api session, then construct and issue a direct SQL UPDATE
statement. Roughly, this would look something like this:
from odm2api.ODMconnection import dbconnection
session_factory = dbconnection.createConnection('postgresql', **db_cred)
DBSession = session_factory.getSession()
sq_str = " UPDATE mytable SET variablecode = 'xyz' WHERE variablecode = 'abc' "
DBSession.execute(sql_str)
DBSession.commit()
We should probably close this issue. @aufdenkampe and @horsburgh, what do you think?
If you think the code snippet I included is useful enough, we could think about folding it somewhere into the Sphinx documentation.
@emiliom, I like your idea of including your https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2PythonAPI/issues/155#issuecomment-379301786 into the Sphinx documentation. I was recently looking at this with @roelofversteeg and @erekalper and noticing that those functions were indeed in need or work and documentation. It would be good to include that message in the docs.
Adding this example to the Sphinx docs now, so I'm closing the issue.
Hi there,
I want to change the VariableCode of a variable that I created a while back - is there any way to do this from the API?
Thanks, Dan W
