The RecordInsertList class provides array insert capabilities in the kernel.

Methods

	Method	Description
	add	Adds a record to a RecordInsertList object for subsequent insertion into the database.
	cancelTimeOut	Cancels a previous method call to the setTimeOut method. (Inherited from Object.)
	equal	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current one. (Inherited from Object.)
	getTimeOutTimerHandle	Returns the timer handle for the object. (Inherited from Object.)
	handle	Retrieves the handle of the class of the object. (Inherited from Object.)
	insertDatabase	Inserts all records, that have not already been inserted, in the current RecordInsertList object.
	new	Creates a new object to hold records for insertion into the database. (Overrides the new Method.)
	notify	Releases the hold on an object that has called the wait method on this object. (Inherited from Object.)
	notifyAll	Releases a lock on the object that was issued by the wait method on this object. (Inherited from Object.)
	objectOnServer	Determines whether the object is on a server. (Inherited from Object.)
	owner	Returns the instance that owns the object. (Inherited from Object.)
	setTimeOut	Sets up the scheduled execution of a specified method. (Inherited from Object.)
	toString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	usageCount	Returns the current number of references, that is, the value of the reference counter, that the object has. (Inherited from Object.)
	wait	Pauses a process. (Inherited from Object.)
	xml	Returns an XML string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

This class allows you to insert more than one record into the database at a time, which reduces communication between the application and the database.

Records are inserted only when the kernel finds the time appropriate, but they are inserted no later than the call to the insertDatabase. add and insertDatabase methods. The RecordInsertList.add and RecordInsertList.insertDatabase methods return the accumulated number of records that are currently inserted, which allows you to keep track of when the records are actually inserted.

The array insert operation automatically falls back to classic record-by-record inserts when non-SQL based tables are used (for example, temporary tables), or when the insert method on the table is overridden (unless it is explicitly discarded).RecordInsertList is similar to RecordSortedList, but it has built-in client/server support (it automatically packs data from one tier to another when needed), and it lacks the sort order features that are available in RecordSortedList.

Examples

The following example uses the RecordInsertList class to copy a bill of materials (BOM) from one BOM to another.

void copyBOM(BOMId _FromBOM, BOMId _ToBOM) 
{ 
    RecordInsertList BOMList; 
    BOM BOM, newBOM; 
 
    BOMList = new RecordInsertList(tableNum(BOM)); 
 
    while select BOM 
    where BOM.BOMId == _FromBOM 
    { 
        newBOM.data(BOM); 
        newBOM.BOMId = _ToBOM; 
        BOMList.add(newBOM); 
    } 
    BOMList.insertDatabase(); 
}
