Data Model

Tables

Tables are retrieved dynamically from the authenticated Sage 300 account.

Child Tables

Child tables are also retrieved, which contain child objects of their parents. For example, OEOrders has OEOrders_OrderCommentsInstructions and OEOrders_OrderDetails as its child tables. These tables are exposed as aggregate columns while querying their parent table. They also have references to the unique identifier of their parent.

Views

Read-only views are retrieved dynamically from the authenticated Sage 300 account.

Stored Procedures Stored Procedures

Stored Procedures are function-like interfaces to Sage 300. Stored procedures allow you to execute operations to Sage 300.

Collaborative Query Processing

The provider offloads as much of the SELECT statement processing as possible to Sage 300 and then processes the rest of the query in memory. API limitations and requirements are also documented in this section.

See SupportEnhancedSQL for more information on how the provider circumvents API limitations with in-memory client-side processing.

SELECT statements for the main tables are mostly supported server-side. For example:

SELECT * FROM APInvoiceBatches WHERE BatchDate='2019-01-09 01:00:00.0'

will be run server-side.

Note: When executing SELECT statements on child tables, everything is processed client side

sys_tables

Lists the available tables.

The following query retrieves the available tables:

SELECT * FROM sys_tables

Columns

Name	Type	Description
CatalogName	String	The database containing the table.
SchemaName	String	The schema containing the table.
TableName	String	The name of the table.
TableType	String	The table type.
Description	String	A description of the table.
