-> string

Parameters

filename String: Name of file on which the operation is performed. For example LK.ORDERS
selectClause String (Optional): Statement fragment specifies the selection condition. For example WITH CUSTOMER = '1'
sortClause String (Optional): Statement fragment specifies the selection order. If there is a selection rule, Linkar will execute a SSELECT, otherwise Linkar will execute a SELECT. For example BY CUSTOMER
dictClause String (Optional): Space-delimited list of dictionaries to read. If this list is not set, all fields are returned. For example CUSTOMER DATE ITEM. You may use the format LKFLDx where x is the attribute number.
preSelectClause String (Optional): An optional command that executes before the main Select
selectOptions SelectOptions (Optional): Object with options to manage how records are selected, including calculated, dictionaries, conversion, formatSpec, originalRecords, onlyItemId, pagination, regPage, numPage.
jsonFormat JSON_FORMAT (Optional): Enum JSON_FORMAT specifies the desired output format: standard JSON, JSON_DICT format, or JSON_SCH format
customVars String (Optional): Free text sent to the database allows management of additional behaviours in SUB.LK.MAIN.CONTROL.CUSTOM, which is called when this parameter is set.
receiveTimeout Int32 (Optional): Maximum time in seconds that the client will wait for a response from the server. Default = 0 to wait indefinitely.

Return Value

String
The results of the operation.

Remarks

In the preSelectClause argument these operations can be carried out before executing the Select statement:

Previously call to a saved list with the GET.LIST command to use it in the Main Select input
Make a previous Select to use the result as the Main Select input, with the SELECT or SSELECT commands.In this case the entire sentence must be indicated in the PreselectClause. For example:SSELECT LK.ORDERS WITH CUSTOMER = '1'
Exploit a Main File index to use the result as a Main Select input, with the SELECTINDEX command. The syntax for all the databases is SELECTINDEX index.name.value. For example SELECTINDEX ITEM,"101691"

Example

C++

Copy

using Linkar;
using Linkar.Functions.Persistent.JSON;

class Test
    {
        public string MySelect()
        {
            string result = "";
            try
            {
                CredentialOptions credentials = new CredentialOptions("127.0.0.1", "EPNAME", 11300, "admin", "admin");
                LinkarClient client = new LinkarClient();
                client.Login(credentials);

                result = client.Select("LK.CUSTOMERS");
                client.Logout();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                string error = ex.Message;
                // Do something
            }
            return result;
