Return level field

In HDATA, array fields and grids field are considered level (hierarchical table).

If the query statement is SELECT * FROM HDATA, the current level is HDATA. If the query statement is SELECT * FROM HDATA.person, the current level is HDATA.person.

In the UNICOM Intelligence OLE DB Provider, when querying fields are the same as the current level (or upper, then current level), the field’s result should be considered as a normal field; otherwise querying fields are returned as a sub-table (level object).

Example: Query content level fields and parent level fields

Using data from the UNICOM Intelligence Developer Library household.mdd example:

SELECT
^.housetype
, ^.address
, levelid
, age
, person
FROM HDATA.person

The result data is:

^.housetype	^.address	levelid	age	person
{59}	15B Park Avenue, Harrogate, HG1 4TY	1	25	1
{61}	46 Freedom Lane, Brighton, BN2 3YT	1	45	2

Return level object

The JDBC Driver only supports basic JDBC types. This means that when the driver receives a level object from the UNICOM Intelligence OLE DB Provider, the driver transports the level object as a binary array. At the Java client site, you can identify column values as a level of a sub-table by using the data type. To place data inside a sub-table, you must query data directly from the table (for example, SELECT * FROM HDATA.person).
