Caspio Bridge 7.1

 

Table Relationships

In this release, Caspio provides the ability to create relationships between Tables to ensure your associated data always remains connected.  The Relationships drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to add new relationships by simply dragging fields from one table to another.

The new drag-and-drop Relationships window.

Once Relationships are set at the table-level, you can easily create Views, Forms and Reports that automatically preserve the important associations between all your data.

Caspio supports both one-to-one and one-to-many relationships. When creating one-to-many relationships, you have the option of displaying values from the parent field in the related table’s dropdown.

Dropdown for a one-to-many related field in Datasheet view.

Additionally, you can protect one-to-many relationships by enforcing Referential Integrity, which prevents orphaned data and keeps all references in sync. Table Relationships can be imported and exported to/from Microsoft Access.

New Join Types in Views

In addition to Table Relationship joins, Views also support more join types:

  • Inner Join: Default join type which includes only matching records which are present in both Tables.
  • Left Outer Join: Includes all records in Left Table and only matching records in Right Table.
  • Right Outer Join: Includes all records from Right Table and only matching records in Left Table.
  • Full Outer Join: Includes all records in both tables, even if no other matching record exists.

New join types in Views support inner, left outer, right outer and full outer joins.

When Relationships are set at the table-level, the field associations and join types will be automatically populated when creating Views and DataPages.

  • General: Default for general numbers up to 15 digits including decimal places.
  • Integer: Integer numbers without decimals, up to 10 digits.
  • Currency: Monetary data, up to 15 digits and 4 decimal places.
