Detailed Description

Provides an application programming interface (API) to manage materialized views in Chado. The Perl-based chado comes with an interface for managing materialzed views. This API provides an alternative Drupal-based method.


Function Documentation

tripal_add_mview ( name,
modulename,
mv_table,
mv_specs,
indexed,
query,
special_index,
comment = NULL,
mv_schema = NULL 
)

Add a materialized view to the chado database to help speed data access. This function supports the older style where postgres column specifications are provided using the $mv_table, $mv_specs and $indexed variables. It also supports the newer preferred method where the materialized view is described using the Drupal Schema API array.

Parameters:
$nameThe name of the materialized view.
$modulenameThe name of the module submitting the materialized view (e.g. 'tripal_library')
$mv_tableThe name of the table to add to chado. This is the table that can be queried.
$mv_specsThe table definition
$indexedThe columns that are to be indexed
$queryThe SQL query that loads the materialized view with data
$special_indexcurrently not used
$commentA string containing a description of the materialized view
$mv_schemaIf using the newer Schema API array to define the materialized view then this variable should contain the array or a string representation of the array.

$queryThe SQL query that loads the materialized view with data
$special_indexcurrently not used
$commentA string containing a description of the materialized view
$mv_schemaIf using the newer Schema API array to define the materialized view then this variable should contain the array.
