How do I loop thought each DB field to see if range is correct - sql

Question

I have this response in soapUI:
<pointsCriteria>
<calculatorLabel>Have you registered for inContact, signed up for marketing news from FNB/RMB Private Bank, updated your contact details and chosen to receive your statements</calculatorLabel>
<description>Be registered for inContact, allow us to communicate with you (i.e. update your marketing consent to 'Yes'), receive your statements via email and keep your contact information up to date</description>
<grades>
<points>0</points>
<value>No</value>
</grades>
<grades>
<points>1000</points>
<value>Yes</value>
</grades>
<label>Marketing consent given and Online Contact details updated in last 12 months</label>
<name>c21_mrktng_cnsnt_cntct_cmb_point</name>
</pointsCriteria>
There are many many many pointsCriteria and I use the below xquery to give me the DB value and Range of what that field is meant to be:
<return>
{
for $x in //pointsCriteria
return <DBRange>
<db>{data($x/name/text())}</db>
<points>{data($x//points/text())}</points>
</DBRange>
}
</return>
And i get the below response
<return><DBRange><db>c21_mrktng_cnsnt_cntct_cmb_point</db><points>0 1000</points></DBRange>
That last bit sits in a property transfer. I need SQL to bring back all rows where that DB field is not in that points range (field can only be 0 or 1000 in this case), my problem is I dont know how to loop through each DBRange/DBrange in this manner? please help

Answer 1

I'm not sure that I really understand your question, however I think that you want to make queries in your DB using specific table with a column name defined in your <db> field of your xml, and using as values the values defined in <points> field of the same xml.
So you can try using a groovy TestStep, first parse your Xml and get back your column name, and your points. To iterate over points if the values are separated with a blank space you can make a split(" ") to get a list and then use each() to iterate over the points on this list. Then using groovy.sql.Sql you can perform the queries in your DB.
Only one more thing, you need to put the JDBC drivers for your vendor DB in $SOAPUI_HOME/bin/ext and then restart SOAPUI in order that it can load the necessary driver classes.
So the follow code approach can achieve your goal:
import groovy.sql.Sql
import groovy.util.XmlSlurper
// soapui groovy testStep requires that first register your
// db vendor drivers, as example I use oracle drivers...
com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils.registerJdbcDriver( "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver")
// connection properties db (example for oracle data base)
def db = [
url : 'jdbc:oracle:thin:#db_host:d_bport/db_name',
username : 'yourUser',
password : '********',
driver : 'oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver'
]
// create the db instance
def sql = Sql.newInstance("${db.url}", "${db.username}", "${db.password}","${db.driver}")
def result = '''<return>
<DBRange>
<db>c21_mrktng_cnsnt_cntct_cmb_point</db>
<points>0 1000</points>
</DBRange>
</return>'''
def resXml = new XmlSlurper().parseText(result)
// get the field
def field = resXml.DBRange.db.text()
// get the points
def points = resXml.DBRange.points.text()
// points are separated by blank space,
// so split to get an array with the points
def pointList = points.split(" ")
// for each point make your query
pointList.each {
def sqlResult = sql.rows "select * from your_table where ${field} = ?",[it]
log.info sqlResult
}
sql.close();
Hope this helps,

Thanks again for your help #albciff, I had to add this into a multidimensional array (I renamed field to column and result is a large return from the Xquery above)
def resXml = new XmlSlurper().parseText(result)
//get the columns and points ranges
def Column = resXml.DBRange.db*.text()
def Points = resXml.DBRange.points*.text()
//sorting it all out into a multidimensional array (index per index)
count = 0
bigList = Column.collect
{
[it, Points[count++]]
}
//iterating through the array
bigList.each
{//creating two smaller lists and making it readable for sql part later
def column = it[0]
def points = it[1]
//further splitting the points to test each
pointList = points.split(" ")
pointList.each
{//test each points range per column
def sqlResult = sql.rows "select * from my_table where ${column} <> ",[it]
log.info sqlResult
}
}
sql.close();
return;
