Hello everyone !
My intentions:
- to get a (kind of) sequence nr for naming an object
- (maybe) save someone a headache
My (first) approach was to use the function "query()" in the Model
like so:
*snip*
function getNextSeqNr()
{
$seqnr = $this->query("SELECT (MAX(Item.id)+1) AS seqnr FROM items AS
Item");
if(empty($seqnr[0][0]['seqnr']))
$seqnr[0][0]['seqnr'] = 1;
return $seqnr[0][0]['seqnr'];
}
*snip*
This method was sufficient for a while, it worked, BUT...
...only if it was called once per controller-action.
If I tried to do this in a loop, the query was only executed once...
(although i turned everything off, that had remotely to do with
caching)
I finally got around to another, a little bit more
"unfancy"/"oldskool" method to get what i wanted.
*snip*
function getNextSeqNr()
{
$db =& ConnectionManager::getDataSource($this->useDbConfig);
$result = $db->rawQuery("SELECT (MAX(Item.id)+1) AS seqnr FROM items
AS Item");
$seqnr = 1;
if($result === false)
{
$this->log("bleep, error blah.");
$seqnr = false;
}
else
{
if($result->num_rows == 1)
{
$row = $result->fetch_assoc();
$seqnr = $row['seqnr'];
}
}
return $seqnr;
}
*snip*
Now the query is not unduly cached anymore.
Or maybe there is another explanation ? - Would love to hear it.
Cheers,
Ray
