Default Operations Available for Database Mashables
Business Analytics creates the following operations in database mashables by default. With custom database mashables, Business Analytics adminsitrators can remove any of these default operations when they register database assets in Business Analytics. With simple database mashables, all default operations are generated.
Note:  
Business Analytics administrators can also disable or change the default availability for specific operations in Business Analytics Server configuration.
*Data Altering Operations: deletetable-name, inserttable-name and updatetable-name
Operations that directly alter data are enabled by default for tables that are included in database mashables.
*Finders: findtable-nameAll, findtable-nameByPrimaryKey, findtable-nameWhere, findtable-nameByWhereClause, findtable-nameWherecolumn-nameEquals and selecttable-name.
The finders selecttable-name, findtable-name Where and findtable-nameByWhereClause allow you to define arbitrary SQL queries. You can also define custom finders. See Arbitrary SQL Queries for Database Mashables for more information.
If tables or stored procedures support overloaded operations, second and subsequent variations generate a mashable operation with the same name plus a unique index number. For example, findEmployeeByPrimaryKey and findEmployeeByPrimaryKey0.
Note:  
Sample requests and responses in this topic are based on a database table with these names:
*Database table name = EMPLOYEES
*Mashable table name = Employees
*Mashable name = EmployeeTable
deletetable-name
Deletes one record from a database table based on a primary key.

}
findtable-nameByWhereClause
Returns records that match the WHERE clause specified as a parameter. Dynamic parameters must be used in the WHERE clause with values specified in the second parameter as a comma-separated string.
This is an optional finder that is generated by default for tables and views. See Arbitrary SQL Queries for Database Mashables for more information on the implications of using this finder.
Input Parameters
*whereClause as a string with SQL code using ? for dynamic parameters.
*params as a string with a list of values, separated by commas, to substitute for each dynamic parameter. Values are listed in the order they should be placed in the WHERE clause.
Note:  
All substitution values must convert from string. Values that contain commas are not supported.
Result Set
table-name_Array object with all matching records.
Sample Request
{ "version":"1.1",
"sid":"EmployeeTable",
"svcVersion":"0.1",
"oid":"findEmployeesByWhereClause",
"header":{ "resultFormat":"json" },
"params": [ "FIRST_NAME LIKE ?", "L%" ]
}
findtable-nameWhere
Returns records that match the WHERE clause specified as a parameter. No dynamic parameters can be used in the WHERE clause.
This operation uses raw SQL rather than a prepared statement which may be a security concern in some environments. It is disabled, by default. See Arbitrary SQL Queries for Database Mashables for more information.
Input Parameters
whereClause as a string with SQL code.
Result Set
table-name_Array object with all matching records.
Sample Request
{ "version":"1.1",
"sid":"EmployeeTable",

findtable-nameWherecolumn-nameEquals
One operation for each column that is configured for the tables or views in the mashable information source. Returns one or more records from a table where the column value equals the specified parameter.
Input Parameters
column-name specified in the type that matches this column
Result Set
table-name_Array object with all matching records.
Sample Request
{ "version":"1.1",
"sid":"EmployeeTable",
"svcVersion":"0.1",
"oid":"findEmployeesWhereEmployeeIdEquals",
"header":{ "resultFormat":"json" },

selecttable-name

*selectClause as a string with raw SQL code to select all or specific columns from records in this table
*optional whereClause as a string with raw SQL code to specify which records to return
