version 1.5


You can add, modify, or delete rows in a context. When you use context commands to manipulate data on the server, 4D for Oracle knows which data to add, modify, or delete based on the current data in 4th Dimension.

Adding a Row

When you add a new row using the OD Insert in context function, 4D for Oracle uses the data in the current 4th Dimension objects to create the new row on the server. For instance, you could execute an OD Insert in context statement when a record is accepted to add the information entered in the fields as a new row on the server.

Updating a Row

When you update a row using the OD Update in context function, 4D for Oracle uses the data in the 4th Dimension objects specified by the context to update the corresponding row on the server. For instance, you could execute an OD Update in context statement whenever something is modified in a record to update the corresponding columns on the server.

Deleting a Row

When you delete a row using the OD Delete in context function, 4D for Oracle deletes the row on the server that corresponds to the current 4th Dimension objects. For instance, you could execute an OD Delete in context statement when a record is deleted to delete the corresponding row on the server.
