This section describes how custom database changes can be made, defining those changes in XML files rather that writing SQL directly against the database.

 

What does this section cover?

Table of Contents

...

CRM.COM uses LiquiBase to implement this database changes management mechanism and uses changelog XML files to define the desired database changes. All supported database changes can be found here.

You can apply the database changes by running the database update tool provided by CRM.COM application.

...

New tables, columns and constraints are defined in <projectname>.changelog.xml which is located under ProjectNameCrmEJB/ejbModule.

Examples

Create New Table

Code Block
languagexml
titleprojectname.changelog.xml
collapsetrue
<databaseChangeLog>
	...
	<changeSet author="custom_developer" id="custom-db-change-1">
		<createTable tableName="CUSTOMTABLE">
            <column name="CUSTOMID" remarks="Primary Key" type="VARCHAR(32)">
                <constraints nullable="false"/>
            </column>
            <column name="CUSTOMNAME" remarks="The name of the custom entity" type="VARCHAR(256)"/>
            <column name="CUSTOMALTCODE" type="VARCHAR(32)"/>
            <column name="CUSTOMDESC" remarks="The description of the custom entity" type="VARCHAR(512)"/>
            <column name="CUSTOMCREATEDDATE" type="TIMESTAMP"/>
            <column name="CUSTOMUPDATEDDATE" type="TIMESTAMP"/>
            <column name="CUSTOMDELETED" type="INTEGER"/>
            <column name="CUSTOMCREATEDBYUSERID" type="VARCHAR(32)"/>
            <column name="CUSTOMUPDATEDBYUSERID" type="VARCHAR(32)"/>
            <column name="CUSTOMCREATEDBYOUUID" type="VARCHAR(32)"/>
            <column name="CUSTOMUPDATEDBYOUUID" type="VARCHAR(32)"/>
            <column defaultValueNumeric="0" name="RECVERSION" type="INTEGER">
                <constraints nullable="false"/>
            </column>
        </createTable>
	</changeSet>
	...
</databaseChangeLog>

Add New Column To An Existing Table

New columns can be added to both release and custom tables.

Code Block
languagexml
titleprojectname.changelog.xml
collapsetrue
<databaseChangeLog>
	...
	<changeSet author="custom_developer" id="custom-db-change-2">
        <addColumn tableName="CUSTOMTABLE">
            <column name="RENTALID" remarks="The rental related with the custom entity - FK to TRN_RENTALS" type="VARCHAR(32)"/>
        </addColumn>
	</changeSet>
	...
</databaseChangeLog>

Code Block
languagexml
titleprojectname.changelog.xml
collapsetrue
<databaseChangeLog>
	...
	<changeSet author="p_kestora" id="CRMCOM-5483-05">
        <addForeignKeyConstraint baseColumnNames="RENTALID" baseTableName="CUSTOMTABLE" constraintName="FK_CUSTOMTABLE_01" deferrable="false" initiallyDeferred="false" onDelete="NO ACTION" onUpdate="NO ACTION" referencedColumnNames="RENTALID" referencedTableName="TRN_RENTALS"/>
    </changeSet>
	...
</databaseChangeLog>

...

<projectname>.data.xml, which is located under ProjectNameCrmEJB/ejbModule, is used for inserting and updating data in existing tables

Examples

Insert Data In Existing Table

Code Block
languagexml
titleprojectname.data.xml
collapsetrue
<databaseChangeLog>
	...
	<changeSet author="custom_developer" id="custom-data-db-change-3">
        <insert tableName="CUSTOMTABLE">
            <column name="CUSTOMID" value="63E096DF859A44ED958007C71F0389E5"/>
            <column name="CUSTOMNAME" value="Standard Customer"/>
            <column name="CUSTOMALTCODE" value="SC"/>
            <column name="CUSTOMDESC"/>
            <column name="CUSTOMCREATEDDATE" valueDate="2016-03-11 10:03:21.0"/>
            <column name="CUSTOMUPDATEDDATE" valueDate="2016-03-11 10:03:56.0"/>
            <column name="CUSTOMDELETED" valueNumeric="0"/>

            <column name="CUSTOMCREATEDBYOUUID" value="1"/>
            <column name="CUSTOMUPDATEDBYOUUID" value="1"/>
            <column name="RECVERSION" valueNumeric="0"/>
        </insert>
    </changeSet>
	...
</databaseChangeLog>

Update Data In Existing Table

Code Block
languagexml
titleprojectname.data.xml
collapsetrue
<databaseChangeLog>
	...
	<changeSet author="custom_developer" id="custom-data-db-change-4">
    	<update tableName="CUSTOMTABLE">
        	<column name="CUSTOMDESC" value="This record is related to a rental" type="varchar(512)"/>
        	<where>RENTALID IS NOT NULL</where>
    	</update>
	</changeSet>
	...
</databaseChangeLog>

 

Note: Make sure that you use a globally unique changeSet id for each changeSet. A changeSet id used in projectname.changelog.xml cannot be used in projectname.data.xml.
