Hello there,
I'll need to copy thousands of objects from one table to another; the
copying'll be almost verbatim, but for a relationship. Namely,
entity OldAuction <->> OldRecord (relationships records->> and inverse
<-auction)
entity NewAuction <->> NewRecord (relationships records->> and inverse
<-newAuction)
Entity NewRecord has all attributes of OldRecord (and perhaps a couple of
others)
The naïve code would be something like
===
def orig=... an object of the OldAuction entity ...
def new=... an object of the NewAuction entity ...
orig.allRecords().each { OldRecord old ->
def
newRecord=EOUtilities.createAndInsertInstance(new.editingContext(),'NewRecord')
newRecord.newAuction=new
newRecord.takeValuesFromDictionary(old.valuesForKeys(old.attributeKeys()))
}
new.editingContext().saveChanges()
===
There's no need to make this lightning fast, e.g., a dedicated SQL procedure
would definitely be an overkill; but still, it should be as fast as possible
without making the code too complex, unintelligible and unmaintainable. I
wonder, what's the best way? Guess I might e.g., fetch rawrows for
orig.allRecords somehow, and use _them_ for the takeValuesFromDictionary
argument?
Thanks,
OC
