ForAll Patch Collection to SQL Server

(0) Share

Posted on by KaiserKid

I am trying to patch an entire collection to a SQL server at one time. The collection contains unique values. However when it patches the the SQL server the 1st record gets input for each item.

For example if the collection as 4 records (A, B, C, D), what gets patched to the SQL server is A, A, A, A. The total number of records patched is correct (if there are 50 records in the collection, 50 records will be added to SQL), but it just keeps repeating the data for the 1st record in the collection.

The code I am using follows this structure:

ForAll(CollectionItems,
Patch(SQL.dbo,
Defaults(SQL.dbo),
{Var1: CollectionItem.var1,
Var2: CollectionItem.var2 } ) );

Any idea as to why only the data from the 1st record is being patched? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @KaiserKid ,

Do you want to patch entire collection data back to your SQL Table once time?

Based on the Patch formula that you mentioned, I think there is something wrong with it. I have made a test on my side, please consider modify your formula as below:

ForAll( CollectionItems, Patch( SQL.dbo, Defaults(SQL.dbo), { Var1: CollectionItems[@Var1], Var2: CollectionItems[@Var1], Var3: CollectionItems[@Var3], Var4: CollectionItems[@Var4] } ) );

When you use ForAll function to patch each record from the collection back to your SQL Table, you should reference the column value from the collection directly, rather than using CollectionItem.Var1, CollectionItem.Var2, CollectionItem.Var3, ... formula.

Best regards,

You are very close, but I think you should be using just the field name as the value, not the collection.field name. This works for me.

ForAll(testcollect, Patch('[dbo].[SQL]', Defaults('[dbo].[SQL]'), {FieldA: fielda, FieldB: fieldb } ) );

Hello,
I'm trying to do the same thing, however, I'm getting error: The specified record was not found. Server Respoinse [dbo] failed" "resource not found"

I'm using the same formula as described in this thread, however:
1- SQL table is empty, I'm trying to add records to the table
2- TRACK field is supposed to be the primary key

Please see formula below:

ForAll(CollectInvoices1,Patch('[dbo].[DMFPAYMENTREQUESTENTITY]',Defaults('[dbo].[DMFPAYMENTREQUESTENTITY]'),{TRACK:1,AMOUNT:'Amount Cur',CHEQUECANCELLED:123,PAYMENTMETHOD:'Payment Method',RECID:12,ProjId:"ZZZ",CREATEDON:Invoicedate,CURRENCYCODE:Currency,DATAAREA:"ZZZ",DATE:Invoicedate,OPSACCOUNTINGID:Vendor,OPSID:"AMZ",PAYMENTREFERENCE:"USD",PRINTERLOCATION:"MLT",SYSTEMID:"KKK",STATUSLOG:"KKK",TRFRSTATUS:true}))

Thank you so much!

Is the primary key an autogenerated identity key? If it is you shouldn't specify it in the pattch.
