#Coding Guidelines

I am new to Intersystems Cache, so please bear with me. We are using HealthShare 2013.1.

I have a routine to compare databases from separate instances where I want to ignore values that begin with %sqlcq. I thought this would be easy with pattern matching operator '?' but it is proving difficult and it seems to be because of the percent character.

For example:

Method1(){

Set OID1=##class(Table).%OpenId(100)

// do Kill OID

}

Hi all,

I'm wonder what could be the best way convert the sentence "Switch" C# into Cache code.

int caseSwitch = 1;

switch (caseSwitch)
{
    case 1:
    Console.WriteLine("Case 1");
    break;

    case 2:
    Console.WriteLine("Case 2");
    break;

    default:
    Console.WriteLine("Default case");
    break;

}

My first attempt was:

Documentation here lists the kinds of members a class definition may contain. In summary:

• Parameters
• Methods
• Properties
• Class queries
• XData blocks
• Projections
• (and some that are relevant only for persistent classes):
  • Storage definitions
  • Indices
  • Foreign keys
  • SQL triggers

Later in the same document, a section headed "Class Member Names" contains this warning:

I am trying to write an application that will take some information on the database make a call to the Google API distance matrix and get the information to use with rest of the application without using the ensemble part of the development is this possible and how can I do my communication with the API from a cache class thanks in advance

Hi, Community!

I'm pleased to share that we have a dedicated InterSystems Developer Community GitHub - github.com/intersystems-community!

The topic of for/while loop performance in Caché ObjectScript came up in discussion recently, and I'd like to share some thoughts/best practices with the rest of the community. While this is a basic topic in itself, it's easy to overlook the performance implications of otherwise-reasonable approaches.
