Datasource tables

 

Choosing datasource tables and views to build PHP code

After you successfully connected to database, check off all datasource tables you'd like to build PHP code for. After that highlight one of selected tables and step through other screens in PHPRunner adjusting settings for selected table. You can always see name of currently selected table in the middle of blue info pane.

To switch between selected tables use Table list pane on the left.

Using Create new table window you can add a new table to existing database.

For each field type name, type, size, scale (applies to DECIMAL datatype in SQL Server, Oracle and MySQL only). Set the Primary key field.

Note: Don't change table settings after you've built the project and added data records. All data will be lost after table modification.

To edit or delete tables right-click on the table name in the list.

Add table view

This feature creates an additional view of the same table. This feature is useful when you like to present several views of the same data.

Example:

Table Cars shows all cars in the database. SQL query: Select * from Cars.

View Active listings displays active listings only. SQL Query: Select * from Cars where status='active'

View Closed listings displays closed listings only. SQL Query: Select * from Cars where status='closed'

SQL query can be modified later on SQL query tab in PHPRunner.

Synchronize database

Every time you make changes to the database in PHPRunner (e.g. you create new table or view, you add or edit table fields etc.), these changes should be implemented in the database. In other words, the structures of the database and PHPRunner project should be synchronized.

To synchronize database, right-click tables tree or blank area near tables tree and select Sync database.

Note: As from PHPRunner 5.1 database synchronization should be implemented manually. In PHPRunner 5.0 and earlier database synchronization was implemented automatically.
