Multiple Values Write Example #

The following example will explain how to write multiple values into the SQL database with one batch set command. We will ask the user to enter two values which will be then written to the database using the SQL command.

b. Create a connection to your database.

2. In your view, navigate to the button element and in Properties -> Commands, select Write/Set Command.

3. Now in the set dialog, create two items in one batch like in the following picture:

4. Now test your project. If you click on the button, the user will be asked twice to enter the value. Once the user has entered both values, mySCADA will execute the SQL. #1# will be replaced with the first value; #2# will be replaced with the second value.

Script Type #

This very useful feature allows you to oversee, set up, and enrich the whole Write/Set command functionality from the scripting level (i.e. you can freely create and add your own new arbitrary functionalities). When the set command is processed, the corresponding View Script is called.

For a detailed description of how View Scripts work, please see section View Scripts.
