Prerequisites

Make sure you have git and Docker desktop installed.

Installation with Docker

Clone/git pull the repo into any local directory

$ git clone https://github.com/intersystems-community/objectscript-docker-template.git

Open the terminal in a cloned folder and run the container with InterSystems IRIS:

$ docker-compose up -d

Installation with ZPM

Open IRIS terminal and run

USER>zpm "install import-csv-update-sql"

How to Use it

In this example we use Countries dataset and GNP dataset to change the GNP column in Countries dataset. we will import GNP CSV with csvgen and then run the SQL update query that will change the data in dc_data.Country class/table for the GNP values from GNP class generated from CSV. And then we delete GNP class.

Open IRIS terminal:

$ docker-compose exec iris iris session iris
USER>
  1. Import dataset
  2. Show the initial value
USER>zw ##class(evshvarov.csv.sqlupdate).ImportDataset()
...
[dataset-countries]     Activate SUCCESS
USER>zw ##class(evshvarov.csv.sqlupdate).AddGNP()
"SQLCODE=0"
USER>zw ##class(evshvarov.csv.sqlupdate).ShowGNP()
Country gnp=
1
  1. Import CSV with the demanded data:
USER>zw ##class(evshvarov.csv.sqlupdate).ImportCSV()
Class name: dc.data.GNP
Header: "CountryName" VARCHAR(250),"CountryCode" VARCHAR(250), . . .
Records imported: 2661
  1. Change the data:
USER>zw ##class(evshvarov.csv.sqlupdate).UpdateGNP()
Changes to GNP are made from dc.data.GNP
1
USER>zw ##class(evshvarov.csv.sqlupdate).ShowGNP()
Country Armenia gnp=12424.5488
1
  1. Delete GNP table:
USER>zw ##class(evshvarov.csv.sqlupdate).DropGNP()
dc.data.DNP class is deleted.
1

Or you can run all the process with RunAll() method:

zw ##class(evshvarov.csv.sqlupdate).RunAll()
