Schema of an existing table schema-of-an-existing-table

Overview overview

When the application needs to access the data of an existing table, an SQL view, or data from a remote database, create its schema in Adobe Campaign with the following data:

  • Name of table: enter the name of the table (with its alias when a dblink is used) with the “sqltable” attribute,
  • schema key: reference the reconciliation field(s),
  • indexes: used to generate queries,
  • The fields and their location in the XML structure: fill in only the fields used in the application,
  • links: if there are joins with the other tables of the base.

Implementation implementation

To create the corresponding schema, apply the following stages:

  1. Edit the Administration>Configuration>Data schemas node of the Adobe Campaign tree and click New .

  2. Select the Access data from an existing table or an SQL view option and click Next .

  3. Choose the table or the existing view:

  4. Adapt the schema content to suit your needs.

    The schema must be populated with the view=“true” attribute on the <srcSchema> root element in order not to generate a table creation SQL script.

Example :

<srcSchema name="recipient" namespace="cus" view="true">
  <element name="recipient" sqltable="dbsrv.recipient">
    <key name="email">
      <keyfield xpath="@email"/>
    </key>
    <attribute name="email" type="string" length="80" sqlname="email"/>
  </element>
</srcSchema>
