Hello,
Is it possible to change registered named db connection when using database filter in template pages?
I tried overriding GetDbConnection method in AppHost but that does not work.
Previously the TemplateDbFilters only opens the default connection from the configured IDbConnectionFactory so you could take a copy of TemplateDbFilters and change it to use DbFactory.OpenDbConnection(namedConnection).
But I’ve just added support for opening different db connections in this commit where you can change the db connection that’s used, e.g:
dbSelect(sql, { namedConnection: "..." })
dbSelect(sql, { connectionString: "..." })
//if connectionString is using different RDBMS dialect than default
dbSelect(sql, { connectionString: "...", providerName: "..." })
There’s also support for being able to specify the default db connection info for all db filters on the page with:
new PageResult(page) {
Args[Keywords.DbInfo] = new ConnectionInfo { NamedConnection = "..." }
}
This is automatically populated in View Pages when using the [ConnectionInfo] or [NamedConnection] attributes on AutoQuery or Request DTOs.
This change is available from v5.4.1 that’s now available on MyGet.
