Detailed Description

A set of parameters for Kinetica.updateRecords{T}(string,IList{string},IList{IDictionary{string, string}},IList{T},IDictionary{string, string}).


Runs multiple predicate-based updates in a single call. With the list of given expressions, any matching record's column values will be updated as provided in new_values_maps. There is also an optional 'upsert' capability where if a particular predicate doesn't match any existing record, then a new record can be inserted.
Note that this operation can only be run on an original table and not on a collection or a result view.
This operation can update primary key values. By default only 'pure primary key' predicates are allowed when updating primary key values. If the primary key for a table is the column 'attr1', then the operation will only accept predicates of the form: "attr1 == 'foo'" if the attr1 column is being updated. For a composite primary key (e.g. columns 'attr1' and 'attr2') then this operation will only accept predicates of the form: "(attr1 == 'foo') and (attr2 == 'bar')". Meaning, all primary key columns must appear in an equality predicate in the expressions. Furthermore each 'pure primary key' predicate must be unique within a given request. These restrictions can be removed by utilizing some available options through options.Note that this operation can only be run on an original table and not on a collection or a result view.
The update_on_existing_pk option specifies the record collision policy for tables with a primary key, and is ignored on tables with no primary key.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

kinetica.UpdateRecordsRequest< T >.UpdateRecordsRequest ( )
inline

Constructs an UpdateRecordsRequest object with default parameters.

Definition at line 1386 of file UpdateRecords.cs.

kinetica.UpdateRecordsRequest< T >.UpdateRecordsRequest ( string  table_name,
IList< string >  expressions,
IList< IDictionary< string, string >>  new_values_maps,
IList< T >  data = null,
IDictionary< string, string >  options = null 
)
inline

Constructs an UpdateRecordsRequest object with the specified parameters.

Parameters
table_nameTable to be updated. Must be a currently existing table and not a collection or view.
expressionsA list of the actual predicates, one for each update; format should follow the guidelines /filter.
new_values_mapsList of new values for the matching records. Each element is a map with (key, value) pairs where the keys are the names of the columns whose values are to be updated; the values are the new values. The number of elements in the list should match the length of .
dataAn optional list of new binary-avro encoded records to insert, one for each update. If one of does not yield a matching record to be updated, then the corresponding element from this list will be added to the table. The default value is an empty List.
optionsOptional parameters.
  • GLOBAL_EXPRESSION: An optional global expression to reduce the search space of the predicates listed in . The default value is ''.
  • BYPASS_SAFETY_CHECKS: When set to true, all predicates are available for primary key updates. Keep in mind that it is possible to destroy data in this case, since a single predicate may match multiple objects (potentially all of records of a table), and then updating all of those records to have the same primary key will, due to the primary key uniqueness constraints, effectively delete all but one of those updated records. Supported values: The default value is FALSE.
  • UPDATE_ON_EXISTING_PK: Specifies the record collision policy for tables with a primary key when updating columns of the primary key or inserting new records. If true, existing records with primary key values that match those of a record being updated or inserted will be replaced by the updated and new records. If false, existing records with matching primary key values will remain unchanged, and the updated or new records with primary key values that match those of existing records will be discarded. If the specified table does not have a primary key, then this option has no effect. Supported values:
    • TRUE: Overwrite existing records when updated and inserted records have the same primary keys
    • FALSE: Discard updated and inserted records when the same primary keys already exist
    The default value is FALSE.
  • UPDATE_PARTITION: Force qualifying records to be deleted and reinserted so their partition membership will be reevaluated. Supported values: The default value is FALSE.
  • TRUNCATE_STRINGS: If set to true, any strings which are too long for their charN string fields will be truncated to fit. Supported values: The default value is FALSE.
  • USE_EXPRESSIONS_IN_NEW_VALUES_MAPS: When set to true, all new values in are considered as expression values. When set to false, all new values in are considered as constants. NOTE: When true, string constants will need to be quoted to avoid being evaluated as expressions. Supported values: The default value is FALSE.
  • RECORD_ID: ID of a single record to be updated (returned in the call to /insert/records or /get/records/fromcollection).
The default value is an empty Dictionary.
