No records found ...Agiletoolkit and Oracle. Grid/CRUD elements - php

Question

I am trying to test around Agile Toolkit with oracle, after seting up a model and trying to show a grid it says "No records found"...
Let me tell you what I did, since i've been guessing most of all configuration as I found no guides for oracle.
My Oracle connection string in agiletoolkit config-default.php file looks like this:
$config['dsn']= array( 'oci:dbname=localhost/MYDATABASE', 'MYUSER', 'MYPASSWORD' );
To fix the driver not found error, I enabled extension=php_pdo_oci8.dll in the php.ini file from my apache installation.
Then there was an error about a missing "oci.php", to solve that I had to create my own file like this:
class DB_dsql_oci extends DB_dsql {
function limit($cnt,$shift=0){
$cnt+=$shift;
$this->where('NUM_ROWS>=',$shift);
$this->where('NUM_ROWS<',$cnt);
return $this;
}
function render_limit(){
return '';
}
}
and placed it at: ...atk4\lib\DB\dsql
To fix the special chars error from oracle , I set line 59 on /atk4/lib/DB/dsql.php to empty string like this: public $bt='';
I manage to run the database test, and it says "Successfully connected to database."
Then I created a model "lib\Model\Mytable.php" like this:
<?php
class Model_Mytable extends Model_Table {
public $table = "MYTABLE";
function init(){
parent::init();
$this->addField('ID');
$this->addField('NAME');
$this->addField('INIDATE');
$this->addField('ENDDATE');
}
?>
After that, I made a new page and tried to use the model like this:
<?php
class page_test extends Page {
function init(){
parent::init();
$form = $this->add('Grid');
$form->setModel('Mytable');
}
}
?>
After refreshing the browser, it will show the grid saying " No Records found"
I wonder whats happening, that table has records no doubt, all data is committed, and im sure oracle is parsing queries because if I miss a column name an oracle error will raise.
Any clue?

This is how you can simply set DSQL as your View (Grid for example) data source:
class page_test extends Page_Basic
{
function init()
{
parent::init();
// DSQL
$q = $this->api->db->dsql();
$q->table('MYTABLE')
->field('DNAME')
->field('INIDATE');
// Create grid and set DSQL as its data source
$g = $this->add('Grid');
$g->addColumn('DNAME');
$g->addColumn('INIDATE');
$g->setSource($q);
// better add paginator too or your grid can become huge :)
$g->addPaginator();
}
}
