Reference of Functions and Language

Hi,

I understood the use of the select statement, but I need a confirmation, please...

1.
I can use the select statement with a not linked table too, from any table in the DB?
2.
The select statement run with data fields only, or with formula fields too?
3.
I have three tables; Table A, linked to Table B; Table B linked to Table C; I can use the select statement from the Table A to obtain the Table C data (the Tables A and C are not directed linked); is it correct?
4.
Can I receive a lot of example with a little DB, to understand better the "How to do", please?

Thanks for all
Best regards
Roberto

    Hi all, is there a more complete function reference available? For example, I've seen an example with a Styled() function that I can't see documented anywhere. Thanks.

    Hi, I wrote this function (it works) inserted in a function field called "Status Fattura" in a table called "Fatture" linked to a table called "Clienti":

    let a := text("EMESSA");
    let b := text("Inviata");
    let c := text("PAGATA");
    let d := text("SCADUTA");
    if 'Data invio a Cliente' = null and 'Data pagamento' = null and 'Data scadenza Fattura' > today() then
    styled(a, "", "", "printer")
    else
    if 'Data invio a Cliente' = null and 'Data pagamento' = null and 'Data scadenza Fattura' = today() then
    styled(b, "", "", "glider")
    else
    if 'Data pagamento' != null then
    styled(c, "green", "white", "moneybag")
    else
    if 'Data scadenza Fattura' < today() then
    styled(d, "red", "white", "warn2")
    end
    end
    end
    end
    end

    I would like to create in a new function field inserted in the "Clienti"(customers) table a code that "reads" the "SCADUTA" (expired) result of the previous function and makes the sum of all the records (connected to the same customer) that have the "Status Fattura" = SCADUTA (Status Invoice = expired). It's possible?
    Thx u so much

    Hello, I really like this product.
    I am working on a database on currency exchange rates. You know, the exchange rate changes in real time, so I need to introduce an external API to adjust the exchange rate in real time. What should I do?
    Thank you

    In the release notes I noticed a language function that you should be able to use...

    - Call REST services: http(method, url, header, body)

    There’s no other documentation than this I’m afraid, but it sounds like the beginnings of a possibility.

    If you could send me ( support@ninoxdb.de ) a copy of the Ninox database you are working on (Main menu -> "Save Archvie as...") I'm sure that I can find a solution to your problem.

    Hi.

    now() returns UTC time and not my local time zone time. Is there a way to change this behavior?

    Best,

    Let me be more clear, when I use now( ) in a formula for setting field default values in a form it uses UTC. On a trigger:

    Time := now ( );

    That returns UTC. If I do the same thing in the "console" it returns local time.

    Best,

    John

    Hi John,

    the now () function returns the current date and time. If you only need the time, you should use the formula

    Time := time (now ())

    Hi. You may want to give me a helping hand with a puzzling behavior of 'like'.

    Here is a list of text records, say 'Dummy'
    1 AAR
    2 CBR
    3 AAR
    4 AAR:BZA
    5 NCG
    6 CBR:AAR

    Filtering the list in View:Filter 'like AAR' selects records 1-3-4-6, ie all records containing 'AAR'.

    This behavior is different when using 'like' in a Filtering Values context such as
    >Counting records 'cnt'
    cnt(Record[Dummy like 'AAR'].Any)
    this count records 1-3-4 but not 6
    >Selecting records
    select Record where Dummy like 'AAR'
    again, this selects records 1-3-4 but not 6

    Any thoughts? It looks as if the behavior of 'like' is inconsistent. I'd expect 'like' to behave like in View:FIlter, ie matching any record containing 'AAR' regardless of its text position within the record.

    Thank you for any help you may provide. Cheers, --Jaime

    Hi Jaime,
    that's right, "like" in filters behaves differently than in triggers.
    Try this:
    Counting

    cnt(select Record[contains(Dummy, "AAR")])

    Selecting records

    select Record[contains(Dummy, "AAR")].Dummy
