IMetabase.CreateObject

Syntax

CreateObject(Info: IMetabaseObjectCreateInfo): IMetabaseObjectDescriptor;

Parameters

Info is information about the object that is being created.

Description

The CreateObject method creates a new object, basing on the information that is passed the Info input parameter.

Comments

This method is used to create almost all objects of the platform. In certain cases it is called automatically, for example, to create necessary child objects.

Specialized methods, that should be used instead of the CreateObject method, are implemented for creating several objects. List of objects, their class, and specialized methods are given below:

Object	Object class	Method for object creating
Global parameters	KE_CLASS_SHAREDPARAMS	ISpecialObjects.Operation
Custom classes container	KE_CLASS_CUSTOM_EXTENDER	ISpecialObjects.Operation

Example

Sub Main;

Var

MB: IMetabase;

CrInfo: IMetabaseObjectCreateInfo;

MObj: IMetabaseObject;

DB: IDatabase;

Begin

MB := MetabaseClass.Active;

CrInfo := MB.CreateCreateInfo;

CrInfo.ClassID := MetabaseObjectClass.KE_CLASS_DATABASE;

CrInfo.Id := "NewBD";

CrInfo.Name := "New database";

CrInfo.Parent := MB.Root;

MObj := MB.CreateObject(CrInfo).Edit;

DB := MObj As IDatabase;

DB.Authentication := AuthenticationMode.Password;

DB.DriverId := "ORCL";

DB.LogonData.ParamValue("SERVER") := "Test";

DB.LogonData.ParamValue("SCHEME") := "TestShema";

DB.UseMetabaseCredentials := True;

MObj.Save;

End Sub Main;

After executing the example a new database is created in the repository root. Data is stored on the Test server in the TestShema scheme. The password authentication is used when connecting to the database. Login and password are taken from the credentials, specified on login to the platform.
