read from database dependent from time
Posted: Thu Jul 23, 2015 5:42 pm
Hi to all,
Is it possible to read from a database dependent from time?
I want to read a value from a database every 5 minutes. This should be repeated automatically,
the user should not have to click a button.
At the moment, it works when the user clicks a button. If the time is 15:30, like in the example below, and the User clicks the button, the first value from the database is displayed.
But I would like that the values are displayed automatically.
If I put the fuction call on openCard - nothing happens.
Here is my function. It is placed on the Card and I have a button on the card, where the function is called on mouseDown.
Maybe someone has an idea how I could implement that.
Best regards
Charlotte

Code: Select all
local tTime
local tNumber
local tj
function databaseDisplayValues
put getDatabaseID() into tDatabaseID
set the twelveHourTime to false
put the time into tTime
put 1 into tNumber
put 1 into tj
if tTime = "15:30" then
repeat while tj < 10
put "SELECT WKAPower FROM wka WHERE wkaID = " && tNumber into tSQL
put revDataFromQuery(tab,return,tDatabaseID,tSQL) into tRecords
add 1 to tNumber
return tRecords
end repeat
end if
end databaseDisplayValues
