Database Write Step
The database (DB) write step allows the user to access and change/alter the information found within a specified database.
Using the Database Write Step Tool
The user must set up the DB_CSV tool prior to using this tool.
Drag 'n' drop the Database CSV tool from the ROTMain into the DB Write tool's inputs page. This gives the DB Write tool access to the specified database.
Now enter into the tools Parameters page.
The Parameters page allows the user to set where the new information will go and how the new information will be saved.
Search Text: Enter a specific string of information here to start.
Depending on the other options chosen the tool will either replace the
information that is specified here or insert the new information after
this information.
Search Start Index: give the tool a starting point at which to begin its search. The
counting system begins at zero. A zero here will start the search at
the first entry or first line of information within the database.
Placing a different number here will begin the search at that
particular line.
Now add in the new information.
To Add more field information:
Use "+"
to add data.
This gives the option to "Name" the param type (ex: age).
Select information delivery "Type". Options are: Byte, Short, Long, Float,
Double, String, Unknown.
Select information delivery "SubType". Options are:
Text, file, folder, font, enum.
If too many data fields were added, simply select the line to delete
and select the white "x" (do not press the red "x" unless you want to
delete all the information within the parameters page).
Now the user may set the options for what the tool will do with the new information.
Replace: if this box is checked the tool will replace the information
within described fields with the new information. If the box is left
unchecked the tool will just insert the new information.
Commit: if this box is checked the information will be saved to the
hard drive, left unchecked the information will still be changed and
saved within that database just not to the hard drive.
