In the above example, you can refer to the various columns by name, using the property syntax on the row variable (e.g. it.name) or you can refer to the columns by their index (e.g. it[0]) For example:
Or you can create a DataSet which allows you to query SQL using familar closure syntax so that the same query could work easily on in memory objects or via SQL. e.g.
Advanced Usage
In this example, we create a table, make changes to it and confirm the changes worked.
Combining with MarkupBuilder Example
Here's an example of using Groovy SQL along with
GroovyMarkup .
This could generate, dynamically something like
There's an example
test case which demonstrates all of these query mechanisms in action.
Stored procedure support
Clob Notes
CLOB are objects that cannot be extracted with a piece of code like:
because later
can fail. This happens cause the object is not reachable any more since the connection might be already closed: note I say might cause at least on Oracle the errors are random (and hard to understand).
A possible way to act on CLOB data is to use eachRow
