Hmm, probably InterSystems folks were doing something. Works OK now.

Before:

Query GetAllOlderThan(Age As %Integer = 65) As %Query(ROWSPEC = "Name:%Name,Age:%Integer") [ SqlProc ]
{
}

ClassMethod GetAllOlderThanExecute(ByRef qHandle As %Binary, Age As %Integer = 65) As %Status
{
    set qHandle = $lb($random(200), 0)
    Quit $$$OK
}

ClassMethod GetAllOlderThanClose(ByRef qHandle As %Binary) As %Status [ PlaceAfter = GetAllOlderThanExecute ]
{
    set qHandle = ""
    Quit $$$OK
}

ClassMethod GetAllOlderThanFetch(ByRef qHandle As %Binary, ByRef Row As %List, ByRef AtEnd As %Integer = 0) As %Status [ PlaceAfter = GetAllOlderThanExecute ]
{
    if $ListGet(qHandle, 2) = $ListGet(qHandle, 1)
    {
       Set Row = ""
       set AtEnd = 1
    } else
    {
       Set Row = $Lb(##class(%PopulateUtils).Name(), ##class(%PopulateUtils).Integer(18, 90))
       set $list(qHandle, 2) = $list(qHandle, 2) + 1
    }
    Quit $$$OK
}

After:

Query GetAllOlderThan(Age As %Integer = 65) As %Query(ROWSPEC = "Name:%Name,Age:%Integer") [ SqlProc ]
{
}

ClassMethod GetAllOlderThanExecute(ByRef qHandle As %Binary, Age As %Integer = 65) As %Status
{
    set qHandle = $lb($random(200), 0, Age)
    Quit $$$OK
}

ClassMethod GetAllOlderThanClose(ByRef qHandle As %Binary) As %Status [ PlaceAfter = GetAllOlderThanExecute ]
{
    set qHandle = ""
    Quit $$$OK
}

ClassMethod GetAllOlderThanFetch(ByRef qHandle As %Binary, ByRef Row As %List, ByRef AtEnd As %Integer = 0) As %Status [ PlaceAfter = GetAllOlderThanExecute ]
{
	if $ListGet(qHandle, 2) = $ListGet(qHandle, 1)
	{
		Set Row = ""
		set AtEnd = 1
	} else
	{
    	Set Row = $Lb(##class(%PopulateUtils).Name(), ##class(%PopulateUtils).Integer($ListGet(qHandle, 3), 90))
    	set $list(qHandle, 2) = $list(qHandle, 2) + 1
	}
    Quit $$$OK
}

}

> Hi @Iryna Mykhailova and welcome to the Tutorials Contest.

Why, thank you 

Both %SQLQuery and %Query are class queries. As for the Studio - I do believe it's the easiest way for people who start working with IRIS to get acquainted with the technology!

You are right, I forgot to keep in mind that I have a parameter for the second example. I will correct it to reflect that I'm looking for people older than the exact age. Thanks for the heads-up!

I know about multidimensional properties. But at this pint they aren't even listed as an option in the Wizard. And I'm not sure they are that useful for modern applications. I would guess their use was to transition applications from hierarchical model to object model. 

Yes, and what I love about it - you can use any ODBC based tool and write a simple SQL select and voila:

Thank you, got a new server in the morning.

Ok, I found it. It was Ctrl+/

But I have several / on my keyboard and only the one on the main keyboard (with letters) works. 

I don't really care what are the exact keystrokes, I just want them to work, and they don't  

Sure, I know /* */ work.

But students use different IDEs so they get used to some behavior and adding multiline comments is apparently one of them. In my Studio it shows like this and the menu works but the shortcuts don't.

Does it work for you? I have 2022.2 and it doesn't work  I press and nothing happens.

Thank you  I had to figure out how this whole thing works (and to search lots of sites to get the general idea) so decided it would be nice to share the basics with others as well.

Yes, that's what I did (because, obviously, the class being abstract is not the cause - works great in other scenarios):

Class Test.NewClass Extends %Persistent [ Abstract, NoExtent ]
{}

Class Test.NewClass1 Extends Test.NewClass
{}

I do know you don't inherit all from the secondary class, but I though the number of things I do inherit was more than just parameters, properties and methods. I take it queries, foreign keys, triggers, projections are out as well?

Thanks! Now it works
