ali_query()

Read(2422) Label: query data, cursor,

Description:

Query data and return result as a cursor or a table sequence.

Syntax:

ali_query(ali_open, tableName, keyName, keyValue, selectCol, filter)

Return a table sequence

ali_query(ali_open, tableName, keyName, startValue:endValue, selectCol, filter)

Query a certain part of a table and return the result as a cursor

Note:

External library function (See External Library Guide). With a composite primary key, the format of the parameter startValue:endValue will be [startKey1,startKey2]:[endKey1:endKey2], like [3,"003"]:[5,"009"]. However, if there is no such record as [3,"003"], but only the record [3,"002"]; then the latter will be used according to the rule of Alibaba Cloud.

Parameter:

ali_open

An object to be connected on Alibaba Cloud

tableName

A table name

keyName

For a one-field key, the parameter is the key name; for a composite key, it is a sequence consisting of field names

keyValue

Primary key value. If it is a single value or a sequence of values, query one record; if it is a sequence or a sequence of sequences, perform batch query on multiple records

startValue

The starting value of the primary key values. When it is null or omitted, it represents an infinitesimal; and the colon shouldn’t be omitted

endValue

The ending value of the primary key values. When it is null or omitted, it represents an infinite value; and the colon shouldn’t be omitted

selectCol

The column(s) to be returned. The parameter will be a column name when the target is a single column; and a sequence of column names when multiple columns are desired. All fields will be selected when the parameter isn’t supplied

filter

A filtering expression, which can be omitted.

In the expression, following operators are allowed:

Logical operators including &&, ||, and !

Relational operators including >, >=, ==, <, <=, and !=

The format of the expression is like this: <field name> relational operator <value expression>

For instance: col1 > arg1 && col1 < arg2 || col2 != arg3

A Boolean field needs to be written in a format like this: <boolean field == false>, instead of <!boolean field>

Option:

@x

The option closes the connection to Alibaba Cloud after the query finishes

@z

The option initiates a query on a certain part of data in reverse order

Return value:

Cursor or table sequence

Example:

 

A

 

1

=ali_open("http://test.ots.aliyuncs.com","LTAIXZNG5zzSPHTQ","sa","test")

 

2

=ali_query(A1,"test",["id1","id2"],[1,"10001"]:[10,"70001"], ["id1","id2","f1","f2"],f1>=2000.0)

3

=ali_query(A1, "test",["id1","id2"],,,f1>=2000.0&&f1<=10000.0&&(id2=="10003"||id2=="10004"||id2=="10005"))

The query doesn’t supply parameters startValue:endValue and selectCol, and uses a composite filtering.

4

=ali_query@z(A1,"test",["id1","id2"],[10,"70001"]:[1,"10001"],,f1>=2000.0 && f1<=10000.0 && (id2=="10003" || id2=="10004" || id2=="10005"))

 

5

=ali_query@x(A1,"test",["id1","id2"],[3,"10003"],,)
