IAG - FAQ - How To Use A TCL Script To Read and Write Data From ODBC Databas...

This document provides a step-by-step guide for using a TCL script to read and write data from an ODBC database for WebAccess. It describes how to 1) open an ODBC connection, 2) write data to the database, 3) calculate data amounts, 4) read data from the database into an array, and 5) close the ODBC connection. The TCL script uses SQL commands like INSERT, SELECT, DECLARE CURSOR, and FETCH to interact with the database. Tags like %TTMTIME and arrays are used to transfer data between the database and WebAccess.

 Problem Description:
How to use a TCL script to read and write data from ODBC Database for WebAccess ?

 Brief Solution - Step by Step:

1 Open ODBC database ODBC connection :


TCL script:
SQLDIRECT "CONNECT SESSION 1 TO bwpdata_Access"
SQLDIRECT "USE SESSION 1"
Explanation:
SESSION 1 : The number of connection
Bwpdata_Access : ODBC DSN name, it must be re-set in the ODBC administrator of control panel

2 Write data to the ODBC database


TCL script:
SQLDIRECT "INSERT INTO testing VALUES ('[GETVAL %TTMTIME]','[GETVAL %ATMMINUTE]')"
Explanation:
%TTMTIME : Time in Hour:Minute:Second is 24 hours format. (Example 00:00:01 / 01:02:01)
%ATMMINUTE : Minute of the Hour. (0 to 59)

3 Calculation the amount of data
TCL script:
SQLPREPARE "DECLARE C1 CURSOR FOR"
SQLPREPARE "SELECT count(*) FROM testing"
SQLEXECUTE
SQLDIRECT "OPEN C1"
SQLDIRECT "FETCH NEXT C1 INTO Counter"

Explanation:
Use “CURSOR” to obtain the amount of data
“count(*)” is SQL command to obtain the amount of data
“testing” is name of data table
“C1” is cursor name
“Counter” is constant Tag in WebAccess

4 Read data to the ODBC database
TCL script :
SQLPREPARE "DECLARE C1 CURSOR FOR"
SQLPREPARE "SELECT myValue FROM testing"
SQLEXECUTE

for {set i 0} {$i<=9} {incr i} {


SETVAL myArray($i)=0}

SQLDIRECT "OPEN C1"


for {set i 0} {$i<=9} {incr i} {
SQLDIRECT "FETCH NEXT C1 INTO myArray($i)"
}
Explanation:
myArray is an array of constant Tag, means myArray(0)~ myArray(9)
Select top 10 data from ODBC database into array tags, examples myArray(0)~ myArray (9)

5 Close ODBC database connection :
TCL script :
SQLDIRECT "DISCONNECT SESSION 1"

Explanation:
SESSION 1 : The number of ODBC connection

 Reference:
1. 12.10.11 Read database into an Array for Display with SQL
2. 12.10.12 Write data into an ODBC database
