SET help ='A form allows the user to administer the data of just one table. This
table is henceforth referred to as "the form''s main table".
However, a form also has an SQL SELECT statement, which generates the
data that are displayed on it.
In the simplest case the SQL SELECT statement is just:
SELECT <attributes of main table> FROM <main table>
In that case, the data which can be administered and the data which
are displayed on the form are the same.
In more complex cases, the <main table> can be JOINED with other
tables, which makes it possible to display data of other related
tables as well. These data cannot be modified by means of the form.
The table "pfm_form" has the following attributes:
- name : the name of the form (usually equal to the name of
the form''s table);
- tablename : the name of the form''s main table;
- pkey : the primary key of the form''s main table, which may
consist of more than one attribute. In that case pkey is a SPACE
separated list of the attributes of the primary key;
Note: If pkey is empty, the form is read-only, since pfm is
unable to uniquely identify a record. You can use the
''oid'' as primary key, but according to the PostgreSQL
documentation that is not recommended, unless you set a
UNIQUE constraint on the ''oid''.
- sqlselect : the attribute list of the form''s SQL SELECT
statement, not including the word ''SELECT'';
- sqlfrom : the FROM clause of the form''s SQL SELECT
statement, not including the word ''FROM'';
- groupby : an optional ''GROUP BY'' clause, not
including the words ''GROUP BY'';
- view : a boolean indicating whether or not the
"tablename" is a view;
- showform : a boolean indicating whether the form is shown
in "normal mode" (showform = ''true'') or in "design mode"
(showform = ''false''). Typically, showform is set ''true'' for user
defined forms and ''false'' for the predefined pfm_* forms.
- help : a text which is displayed when the user presses
the [Help] key on the form.
The form''s main table is defined by tablename. Only the data of
that table can be administered by using the form.
All the data generated by the form''s SQL SELECT statement can be
displayed on the form. The SQL SELECT statement is defined by:
- the sqlselect, sqlfrom and groupby attributes of pfm_form; and
- the optional WHERE and ORDER BY clauses provided by the user
when opening the form.
Note: The WHERE clause provided by the user when opening the form, is
automatically converted to a HAVING clause, if there is a GROUP
BY clause.
The following rules should be observed when filling out sqlselect and
sqlfrom:
1. The form''s main table must appear in ''sqlfrom'', and must not be
aliased. Similarly, the main table''s attributes appearing in
''sqlselect'' must not be aliased. The other tables appearing in
the ''sqlfrom'' may be aliased.
2. The fields appearing in ''sqlselect'' must have a unique, simple
name without the need to precede them with a tablename. So,
calculated fields must be given a name by aliasing and
attributes of tables other than the main table may need to be
aliased in order to have a unique, simple name.
3. The ''sqlfrom'' is either just the name of the form''s main table,
or it is a JOIN clause in which 1 of the tables is the form''s
main table. Several join clauses can be nested in order to
involve more than 2 tables. See examples below.
Example 1: the SQL SELECT for the person form of the addressbook database
tablename:
person
pkey:
id
sqlselect:
id, christian_name, name, street, town, "ZIPcode",
country, category, description
sqlfrom:
person
groupby:
-
Example 2: the SQL SELECT for the memberlist form of the addressbook database
tablename:
memberlist
pkey:
group person
sqlselect:
memberlist."group", memberlist.person, p.christian_name, p.name
sqlfrom:
memberlist LEFT OUTER JOIN person p ON (p.id = memberlist.person)

It has the following attributes:
- form : the "name" of the form to which the attribute
belongs;
- attribute : the name of the attribute; this must be equal
to the name of the corresponding attribute of the form''s SQL
SELECT statement;
- typeofattrib : the type of attribute:
o taQuoted: the value provided by the user is put
between single quotes when it is transferred to SQL
UPDATE or INSERT statements;
o taNotQuoted: the value provided by the user is not
quoted when it is transferred to SQL UPDATE or INSERT
statements.
Hint: In general, all attribute values must be quoted, exept
the values or expressions for numeric attributes.
- typeofget: defines how the user provides a value for the
attribute; possible values are:
o tgDirect: the user types the value directly;
o tgExpression: the user types an expression which is first
evaluated before it is passed to SQL UPDATE or INSERT;
Note: Even with tgDirect it is possible to enter an
expression as new value for an attribute, but then
the expression is evaluated by postgresql whereas
with tgExpression, the expression is first evaluated
by Tcl before the SQL statement is sent to
postgresql.
o tgList: the user selects a value by means of a list box
containing a list of values defined in table "pfm_value";
o tgLink: the user selects a value by means of a list box
containing a list of values which is the result from a
query on another table.
o tgReadOnly: this attribute cannot be modified by
the user.
Note: All calculated attributes and all attributes from
tables other than the form''s main table should be
declared ''read-only''. If this rule is not observed,
the Add and Update operations on this form will fail.
- sqlselect: the SQL SELECT statement which is used to fill the
list box with possible values for the attribute (only meaningful
if typeofget = tgLink).
Note :
o The sqlselect may return more than 1 attribute. If so, all
the attributes are displayed in the list-box, but only the
first one is used for updating the attribute.
- valuelist : the "name" of the value list defined in table
"pfm_value_list" (only meaningful if typeofget = tgList);
- nr: a number which determines the order in which attributes are
displayed on the form;
- default: a default value for this attribute which is used when
adding a record. If the first character is an ''='' sign, the
following characters should be an SQL SELECT statement which
returns just one value.
Example:
default: =SELECT nextval(''seq_person_id'')
In this example the default value is the next value of the
sequenece ''seq_person_id''.

SET HELP = 'The data returned by the report''s SQL SELECT statement may be
considered as a table with a column for each ''field'' specified after
the word ''SELECT'' and with a row for each record.
By specifying an ''ORDER BY'' clause in the report''s SQL SELECT
statement, it is possible to group rows with the same values for some
fields together.
The report generator has an "economy" algorithm which avoids printing
the same data repeatedly.
To control this you have to distribute the fields (columns) of the
table over n sections such that section 1 contains the fields that are
changing least frequently (when moving from one row to the next),
section 2 contains the fields that are changing more frequently, and
section n contains the fields that are changing at every row.
When the data of the first row of the table are printed, the data of
section 1 are printed first. Then, on the following line, indented by
one tab stop, the data of section 2 are printed. Then, on the
following line, indented by 2 tab stops, data of section 2 are
printed, etc.
[section 1] <--- row 1
[section 2] <--- row 1
[section 3] <--- row 1
Then, when the next rows are being printed, data of the lower numbered
sections are only printed if they are different from the data of the
last printed section of the same number:
[section 1]
[section 2]
[section 3] <--- row 1
[section 3] <--- row 2
[section 3] <--- row 3
[section 2]
[section 3] <--- row 4
[section 3] <--- row 5
[section 1]
[section 2]
[section 3] <--- row 6
[section 3] <--- row 7
The report generator also enables you to print a summary at every
point where a higher numbered section is about to be followed by a
lower numbered section:
[section 1]
[section 2]
[section 3] <--- row 1
[section 3] <--- row 2
[section 3] <--- row 3
[summary 3]
[section 2]
[section 3] <--- row 4
[section 3] <--- row 5
[summary 3]
[summary 2]
[section 1]
[section 2]
[section 3] <--- row 6
[section 3] <--- row 7
[summary 3]
[summary 2]
[summary 1]
A summary i is printed just before a lower numbered section j (j < i).
Its data can be calculated:
- by applying one of the aggregate funtions: COUNT, SUM, AVG,
STDDEV, MIN, MAX;
- on the fields of the sections j (j >= i), between the last
printed lower numbered section k (k < i), till the next (not
yet printed) lower numbered section k (k < i).
In particular, summary 1 is printed at the end of the report, is
calculated from all the sections of the report and may be calculated
from all the fields.
A record in pfm_section defines a section and a summary of a report.
The table pfm_section has the following attributes:
- report: the name of the report to which the section belongs
- level: a number 1, 2, 3, 4, ... . The first level must be
''1''. The next levels must be numbered consecutively. In the most
simple report, there is only a section with level 1.
- layout: can be "row", "column" or "table".
- fieldlist: a space separated list of field specifiers,
one for each field to be printed in the sections of this level
(see below for details).
- summary: a space separated list of summary field
specifiers (see below for details).
The fieldlist must be formatted as follows:
{field_1 label_1 alignment_1} {field_2 label_2 alignment_2}...
{field_N label_N alignment_N}
where :
- field_i is the name of one of the columns returned by the
report''s SQL SELECT statement;
- label_i is a string which has to be used as label for printing
the i-th field of this section; if it consists of more than 1
word, it must be delimited by double quotes (" .... ");
- alignment_i is optional; if present, it is either l or r,
indicating whether this field should be left or right aligned.
Notes :
o The alignment is optional. If it is left out, left
alignment is assumed by default.
o The alignment only influences the table layout. Column and
row layouts are unaffected by the alignment indicator.
o Multi-line fields, i.e. fields containing more than one
line of text are only formatted properly in a column layout.
For every section, the layout can be defined as:
- row: the section''s field labels and field values are
printed in one row in a format: label_1 : value_1; label_2 :
value_2; ... etc.
- column: the section''s field labels are printed in a first
column, the section''s field values are printed in a second column.
- table: the section''s values are printed in a table with a
column per field and a row per record, the section''s field
labels are used as column headers for the table.
The summary must be formatted as follows:
{field_1 aggregate_1 format_1} {field_2 aggregate_2 format_2}...
{field_N aggregate_N format_N}
where:
- field_i is the name of a field defined in the fieldlist of
either this section, or another, higher numbered section;
- aggregate_i is one of the aggregate functions: COUNT, SUM, AVG,
STDDEV, MIN, MAX (see below for details); and
- format_i is an optional ''ANSI C sprintf'' formatting string (see
below for details). If it is left out, the number is printed
with maximum precision.
Aggregate functions:
In general, the aggregate functions, use the same "economy" algorithm
that is used for printing section data.
When all the fields of a section, which is not the highest numbered
section of the report, have the same values for a number of
consecutive rows, this section''s data are only printed once for these
rows.
Similarly, these rows are only counted once by the aggregate functions
applied to a field of this section.
The aggregate functions that can be used in a summary are:
- COUNT: Counts the number of rows. In this case, the field_i that
is specified only determines which section is counted.
- SUM: Calculates the sum of all the values of the specified
field.
- AVG: Calculates the average of the values of the specified
field.
- STDDEV: Calculates the standard deviation for the values of the
specified field:
SQRT (SUM( (value_i - AVG(value))**2 ) / N)
where :
- value_1, value_2, ... value_N are the values of the
considered field;
- AVG(value) is the average of the considered values;
- N is the number of values.
- MIN: Calculates the minimum of the values of the specified
field.
- MAX: Calculated the maximum of the values of the specified
field.
''ANSI C sprintf'' formatting string:
Here is a short overview of the ''ANSI C sprintf'' formatting string. In
general its form is:
%''MinWidth''.''Precision''''Conversion''
where:
- ''MinWidth'' is an integer defining the minimum width (as number
of characters) for the number to be printed. If the number does
not need so much space, spaces are inserted in front of the
number, unless MinWidth is negative. In that case, spaces are
appended at the end. If the number needs more space than
MinWidth, more space is used.
- ''Precision'' is an integer defining how many digits to print
after the decimal point, or, in the case of g or G conversion,
the total number of digits to appear, including those on both
sides of the decimal point
- ''Conversion'' is one of:
o d : convert integer to signed decimal string. In this case,
there is no need to define a ''Precision''.
Example: %1d
prints an integer and uses as many characters
as required.
o f : convert floating point number to fixed point
notation. In this case, ''Precision'' defines the number
of digits to print after the decimal point. If there
are not enough digits available, trailing zeroes are
appended.
Example: %1.2f
prints a floating point number wiht 2 digits
after the decimal point and uses as many
characters as required.
o e or E : Convert floating-point number to scientific
notation in the form x.yyyezz, where the number of
y''s is determined by the ''Precision'' (default: 6). If
the precision is 0 then no decimal point is output. If
the E form is used then E is printed instead of e.
Example: %1.5E
prints a floating point number in the form
x.yyyyy Ezz
o g or G : If the exponent is less than -4 or greater than
or equal to the precision, then convert floating-point
number as for %e or %E. Otherwise convert as for
%f. Trailing zeroes and a trailing decimal point are
omitted. In this case the ''Precision'' specifies the
total number of digits to appear, including those on
both sides of the decimal point
Example: %1.4G
prints 2345.0 as 2345
prints 234567.0 as 2.346E+05
prints 0.003456 as 0.003456
prints 0.00003456 as 3.456E-05'
