Model Database Procedures
Database Procedures (Stored Procedures or Procs) are a features of some DBMSs. They are subroutines that can contain one or more SQL statements that perform a specific task. In the Database Builder, you create and define database Procedures as individual objects.
Access Tools | Database Builder | Right-click on Procedures Package | Add new Procedure
A database Procedure element is immediately added to the Package, with the name highlighted for change. Type an appropriate name.
To define the database Procedure, double-click on it. The Procedure: <procedure name> dialog displays.
| · | The Database field defaults to the DBMS for which you are defining the database |
| · | In the Notes field, type some notes on, or a description of, the Procedure |
| · | In the Procedure definition field, type the full procedure definition; the code editor provides Intelli-sense for basic SQL keywords and functions |
To delete a database Procedure, right-click on the Procedure name and click on the Delete <procedure name> option. A prompt displays to confirm deletion of the Procedure and its contents; click on the Yes button.
Notes
| · | If you create a database Procedure element external to the Database Builder, in any part of the model other than the Procedures Package, that Procedure element is automatically reassigned to the Procedures Package |
| · | Database Procedures created as individual objects are represented in the model hierarchy in the Database Builder as Class element icons; if you have Procedures as operations of a container Class (created external to the Database Builder) they are represented in the model hierarchy as Class element icons with a pink 'operation' icon in the bottom right corner |
