The latest version of this topic can be found at Updating Rowsets.

A very basic database operation is to update, or write data to, the data store. In OLE DB, the update mechanism is simple: your consumer application sets the values of bound data members and then writes those values to the rowset; the consumer then requests that the provider update the data store.

Consumers can perform the following kinds of updates on rowset data: setting column values within a row, inserting a row, and deleting a row. To perform these operations, the OLE DB Template class CRowset implements the IRowsetChange interface and overrides the following interface methods:

  • SetData changes column values in a row of a rowset; it is equivalent to the SQL UPDATE command.

  • Insert inserts a row into a rowset; it is equivalent to the SQL INSERT command.

  • Delete deletes rows from a rowset; it is equivalent to the SQL DELETE command.

Supporting Update Operations

When you create a consumer with the ATL OLE DB Consumer Wizard, you can support the update operations by selecting one or more of the three check boxes Change, Insert, and Delete. If you select these, the wizard modifies the code appropriately to support the type of changes you choose. However, if you do not use the wizard, you need to set the following rowset properties to VARIANT_TRUE to support updates:

  • DBPROPVAL_UP_CHANGE allows you to change the data values in a row.

  • DBPROPVAL_UP_INSERT allows you to insert a row.

  • DBPROPVAL_UP_DELETE allows you to delete a row.

You set the properties as follows:

CDBPropSet ps(DBPROPSET_ROWSET);  
ps.AddProperty(DBPROP_IRowsetChange, true)  
ps.AddProperty(DBPROP_UPDATABILITY, DBPROPVAL_UP_CHANGE | DBPROPVAL_UP_INSERT | DBPROPVAL_UP_DELETE)

Change, insert, or delete operations might fail if one or more columns is not writable. Modify your cursor map to correct this.

Setting Data in Rows

CRowset::SetData sets data values in one or more columns of the current row. The following code sets the values of data members bound to the columns "Name" and "Units in Stock" of the table Products and then calls SetData to write those values to the 100th row of the rowset:

// Instantiate a rowset based on the user record class  
CTable<CAccessor<CProductAccessor> > product;  
CSession session;  
  
// Open the rowset and move to the 100th row  
product.Open(session, "Product", &ps, 1);  // ps is the property set  
product.MoveToBookmark(&bookmark, 0);      // Assume that bookmark is set to 100th row  
  
// Change the values of columns "Name" and "Units in Stock" in the current row of the Product table  
_tcscpy_s( product.m_ProductName, product.m_sizeOfProductName,  
           _T( "Candle" ) );  
product.m_UnitsInStock = 10000;  
  
// Set the data  
HRESULT hr = product.SetData( );

Inserting Rows into Rowsets

CRowset::Insert creates and initializes a new row using data from the accessor. Insert creates an entirely new row after the current row; you need to specify whether to increment the current row to the next row or leave it unchanged. You do this by setting the bGetRow parameter:

HRESULT Insert(int nAccessor = 0, bool bGetRow = false)

  • false (the default value) specifies that the current row increment to the next row (in which case it points to the inserted row).

  • true specifies that the current row remain where it is.

The following code sets the values of data members bound to the columns of the table Products and then calls Insert to insert a new row with those values after the 100th row of the rowset. It is recommended that you set all column values to avoid undefined data in the new row:

// Instantiate a rowset based on the user record class  
CTable<CAccessor<CProductAccessor> > product;  
CSession session;  
  
// Open the rowset and move to the 100th row  
product.Open(session, "Product", &ps, 1);  // ps is the property set  
product.MoveToBookmark(&bookmark, 0);      // Assume that bookmark is set to 100th row  
  
// Set the column values for a row of the Product table, then insert the row  
product.m_ProductID = 101;  
_tcscpy_s( product.m_ProductName, product.m_sizeOfProductName,  
           _T( "Candle" ) );  
product.m_SupplierID = 27857;  
product.m_CategoryID = 372;  
_tcscpy_s( product.m_QuantityPerUnit, product.m_sizeOfQuantityPerUnit,  
           _T( "Pack of 10" ) );  
product.m_UnitPrice = 20;  
product.m_UnitsInStock = 10000;  
product.m_UnitsOnOrder = 5201;  
product.m_ReorderLevel = 5000;  
product.m_Discontinued = false;  
  
// You must also initialize the status and length fields before setting/inserting data  
// Set the column status values  
m_dwProductIDStatus = DBSTATUS_S_OK;  
m_dwProductNameStatus = DBSTATUS_S_OK;  
m_dwSupplierIDStatus = DBSTATUS_S_OK;  
m_dwCategoryIDStatus = DBSTATUS_S_OK;  
m_dwQuantityPerUnitStatus = DBSTATUS_S_OK;  
m_dwUnitPriceStatus = DBSTATUS_S_OK;  
m_dwUnitsInStockStatus = DBSTATUS_S_OK;  
m_dwUnitsOnOrderStatus = DBSTATUS_S_OK;  
m_dwReorderLevelStatus = DBSTATUS_S_OK;  
m_dwDiscontinuedStatus = DBSTATUS_S_OK;  
  
// Set the column length value for column data members that are not fixed-length types.  
// The value should be the length of the string that you are setting.  
m_dwProductNameLength = 6;             // "Candle" has 6 characters  
m_dwQuantityPerUnitLength = 10;        // "Pack of 10" has 10 characters  
  
// Insert the data  
HRESULT hr = product.Insert( );

For a more detailed example, see CRowset::Insert.

Deleting Rows from Rowsets

CRowset::Delete deletes the current row from the rowset. The following code calls Delete to remove the 100th row of the rowset:

// Instantiate a rowset based on the user record class  
CTable<CAccessor<CProductAccessor> > product;  
CSession session;  
  
// Open the rowset and move to the 100th row  
product.Open(session, "Product", &ps, 1);  // ps is the property set  
product.MoveToBookmark(&bookmark, 0);      // Assume that bookmark is set to 100th row  
  
// Delete the row  
HRESULT hr = product.Delete( );

Immediate and Deferred Updates

Unless you specify otherwise, calls to the SetData, Insert, and Delete methods update the data store immediately. You can, however, defer updates so that the consumer stores all changes in a local cache and then transfers them to the data store when you call one of the following update methods:

  • CRowset::Update transfers any pending changes made to the current row since the last fetch or Update call on it.

  • CRowset::UpdateAll transfers any pending changes made to all rows since the last fetch or Update call on it.

Note that update, as used by the update methods, has the specific meaning of making changes on command and is not to be confused with the SQL UPDATE command (SetData is equivalent to the SQL UPDATE command).

Deferred updates are useful, for example, in situations such as a series of banking transactions; if one transaction is canceled, you can undo the change, because you do not send the series of changes until after the last one is committed. Also, the provider can bundle the changes into one network call, which is more efficient.

To support deferred updates, you must set the DBPROP_IRowsetChange property in addition to the properties described in "Supporting Update Operations":

pPropSet->AddProperty(DBPROP_IRowsetUpdate, true);

When you call Update or UpdateAll, the methods transfer changes from the local cache to the data store and then wipe out the local cache. Because update transfers changes only for the current row, it is important that your application keep track of which row to update and when to update it. The following example shows how to update two consecutive rows:

// Instantiate a rowset based on the user record class  
CTable<CAccessor<CProductAccessor> > product;  
CSession session;  
  
// Open the rowset and move to the 100th row  
product.Open(session, "Product", &ps, 1);  // ps is the property set  
product.MoveToBookmark(&bookmark, 0);      // Assume that bookmark is set to 100th row  
  
// Change the values of columns "Name" and "Units in Stock" in the 100th row of the Product table  
_tcscpy_s( product.m_ProductName, product.m_sizeOfProductName,  
           _T( "Wick" ) );  
product.m_UnitsInStock = 10000;  
HRESULT hr = product.SetData( );  // No changes made to row 100 yet  
product.Update();                 // Update row 100 now  
  
// Change the values of columns "Name" and "Units in Stock" in the 101st row of the Product table  
product.MoveNext( );  
_tcscpy_s( product.m_ProductName, product.m_sizeOfProductName  
           _T( "Wax" ) );  
product.m_UnitsInStock = 500;  
HRESULT hr = product.SetData( );  // No changes made to row 101 yet  
product.Update();                 // Update row 101 now

To ensure that pending changes are transferred, you should call Update before moving to another row. However, when this is tedious or inefficient, for example, when your application needs to update hundreds of rows, you can use UpdateAll to update all the rows at once.

For example, if the first Update call were missing from the above code, row 100 would remain unchanged, while row 101 would be changed. After that point, your application would either have to call UpdateAll or move back to row 100 and call Update for that row to be updated.

Finally, one main reason to defer changes is to be able to undo them. Calling CRowset::Undo rolls back the state of the local change cache to the state of the data store before any pending changes were made. It is important to note that Undo does not roll back the state of the local cache by one step (the state before only the latest change); instead, it clears the local cache for that row. Also, Undo affects only the current row.
