Overview
Imports xml data to specified table. If record already exist in table it's updates existing. If no record exist a new record added to table. Comparison automatically done with table primary key.DataTable myDataTable.ImportFromXml(options: QueryWithMappings)
Arguments
Remarks
ColumnsXPath is used to specify additional secondary mapping path by XPath argument.
This method does not call save method after execuiton. If you want to save changes, you need to explicitly call Save method or use $Database.ImportFromXml instead.
Example
Common use for importing data
var table = $Database.Get({ Parameters : { TargetSchema : 'HR', TargetTable : 'Groups' } }); table.ImportFromXml({ XPath : 'Groups/Group' }); table.Save();
Example
Using map function
var table = $Database.Get({ Parameters : { TargetSchema : 'HR', TargetTable : 'Groups' } }); table.ImportFromXml({ XPath : 'Groups/Group', map : function (node) { this.Id = node.Evaluate('../Id'); } }); table.Save();
