The NESTEDSESSION operator creates an action that executes the other action in a nested session.

Syntax

NESTEDSESSION action 

Description

The NESTEDSESSION operator creates an action which executes the other action in a nested session. With that, all changes that have already been made in the current session get into the created nested session. Also, all changes that are made in the nested session will get into the current session when the changes are applied in the nested session.

Parameters

Examples

testNestedSession ()  {
NESTEDSESSION {
name(Sku s) <- 'aaa';
// in fact, the changes will not be applied to the database, but to the "upper" session
APPLY;
}

MESSAGE (GROUP SUM 1 IF name(Sku s) == 'aaa'); // returns all rows
CANCEL;
// returns NULL if there was no Sku named aaa in the database before
MESSAGE (GROUP SUM 1 IF name(Sku s) == 'aaa');

}

FORM sku
OBJECTS s = Sku PANEL
PROPERTIES(s) id, name
;
newNestedSession() {
NESTEDSESSION {
NEW s = Sku {
// shows the form, but any changes in it will not be applied to the database,
// but will be saved in the "upper session" session
SHOW sku OBJECTS s = s;
}
}
}
