How to pass a key in the query while creating a database check point?

Hi, Would be great if you could let me know how to pass a key in the query while creating a database check point? My key value is stored in a variable in the script.

In short, what I want to know is:

myVar='keyvalue'

select * from myTable where myKey='keyvalue';

Instead of specifying the query like select * from myTable where myKey='keyvalue'; in the database checkpoint, I want to use the variable myVar so that the 'keyvalue' can be dynamically attributed.
Thanks.

I too have the same question. How can we pass a varible while creating a DB checkpoint. Is it even possible ?


I would like to do something like

QTP script
variablename=somevalue

select * from table where col=variablename

instead of doing
select * from table where col=123

Thank you
Sairam

I don't think it is possible tp parametrize a checkpoint. A db checkpoint says, you have a expected set of data (which is obtained only from a query with hard coded values) and this is compared with the run-time query execution(which is dynamic).

I do not know if you did find a solution to the problem you have posted. Do let us know if there is any solution to parametrizing or some other way to go around the problem.

Sairam, this is quite possible from my experience.
Instead of variablename=somevalue

make it as a function, pass the somevalue

like,

function func(variablename)
select * from table where col=variablename
end function

Call func(somevalue)

it will work....

let me know after trying this.

Good Luck.

'Assume that 'key' values are present 'keyValues' column under the Local datasheet


For ...
...
    myVar = DataTable("keyValues",dtLocalSheet)
    select * from myTable where myKey=myVar;
...
Next

In this way we can send new values each iteration and new query will be executed

While a database checkpoint is created, the select statement gets stored in "Source".

So for parameterizing it, Create a checkpoint initially in the normal flow with a constant value.....and then parametrize it by updating with SETTOPROPERTY command as shown below....


a="select * from tablename where colname='" & datatable("colnameinqtp",dtlocalsheet) & "'


dbtable("dbtable").settoproperty "source",a


hope this will help u....
