Show Global by SQL SELECT

What's new in this version

relaunch in IPM

Globals in Caché / Ensemble / IRIS are normally invisible over SQL access
This example shows how to overcome this limit.
Globals are presented as content of a table with their subscripts and
the stored content.
The global to view is passed to SQL by a static WHERE condition that
requires 3 parameters:

  • the global name (required)
  • the start subscript (optional)
  • the stop subscript (optional)

Just providing the global name results in a full global dump.
Globals may also be provided with the extended reference
and as this is a table all kind of additional conditions apply.

Be careful.
Correct quoting between SQL and Caché / Ensemble / IRIS could be a challenge

Example:
select * from zrcc_G.dump where zrcc_G.Dump(’^|“SAMPLES”|Sample.PersonD’,2,4)=1

ID	       Global	        Subscript	      Value
1	^|"SAMPLES"|Sample.PersonD	(2)	$lb("",792533244,"GlobaDynamics Holdings Inc.",64256,"C1787","Y5365","A5","A658","R1770","","Ironhorse,Alice D.","T3710","O3","I4011","W8367","557-37-6758",83059958205089661,"1841-01-02 00:00:00")
2	^|"SAMPLES"|Sample.PersonD	(3)	$lb("",862705606,"TeleLateral Associates",34553,"V8155","T8918","X9","V8732","K1167","","Eisenstien,Peter E.","H208","C8","Q2015","Q3357","702-46-8467",57275722714358892,"2020-06-23 13:27:18")
3	^|"SAMPLES"|Sample.PersonD	(4)	$lb("",677194559,"RoboSoft Group Ltd.",52738,"F4851","Z364","S8","O6888","O4367","","Eagleman,Clint C.","C8051","R6","V1659","C9814","664-33-8809",-53705244349891319,"2020-06-23 13:27:18")

It’s obvious for COS-experts. Anyhow: This example fails if you don’t have an installation of SAMPLES namespace at hands.
