Command Flow

Example Usage

Suppose you want to retrieve the username field for all users where age is greater than 25 from a database called myDatabase .

// Define variables
fields = "username"
dbase = "myDatabase"
selector = "age > 25"
usersList = ''

// Call the command to retrieve the records
ormAccessSelect(fields, dbase, selector, usersList)

// Return the query results via addResult
addResult(usersList)

In this example, the ormAccessSelect() command will retrieve the username field for all users in the myDatabase database where age is greater than 25. The results will be stored in the usersList variable, and this variable will be returned via addResult(usersList) . The output will be a list of dictionaries, each representing a user whose username has been retrieved.
