DATA9

DATA9: TvxClientDataSet

Example​

procedure ScriptEvent(var Value: variant);
begin
CreateData(DATA9, ['Code,string,40', 'Quantity,integer']);
DATA9.Append;
DATA9['Code'].AsString := 'SAMPLE-009';
DATA9['Quantity'].AsInteger := 9;
DATA9.Post;
Value := DATA9.RecordCount;
end;

Usage​

DATA9 provides the ninth independent action-owned client dataset for general script working data.

Behaviour, errors and limits

  • Schema, records, cursor, filters, indexes and edit state remain visible to later users during the action.
  • In-memory Post does not prove a remote write or commit.
  • Direct invalid field/state operations can raise. Data helper failures are often logged/swallowed and may leave the object inactive/reset.
  • Loading, closing, querying or recreating the schema invalidates retained fields and record positions.
  • Complete result materialisation can consume significant memory and the mutable cursor is not thread-safe.
  • File and SQL helpers have real external effects. Do not free DATA9 or depend on its rows after action cleanup.

Additional Technical Info​

DATA9 is the ninth distinct TvxClientDataSet supplied as general mutable storage by the active action. Its numeric name does not prescribe a table, schema, query or persistence path.

The script instance is TvxActionMan.FData83. It begins inactive/unstructured and carries DATA9 only as an error-reporting dataset label.

Implementation and lifecycle

Scripts explicitly populate it through CreateData, Data query helpers or load methods. The Velox descendant preserves string whitespace, disables auto-calculated fields/fetch-on-demand and requests complete results. Normal read-oriented SQL use copies rows into memory, disables constraints/change logging and detaches the provider. Action cleanup closes it, and the action remains its sole owner.
