Hello Everyone
I am new to Message Broker coding. Can you guys please tell me where I can find information on e-sql coding for loops? I tried googling for info but the info I found was insufficient. I also have an esql ref coding book but it hasn't been helpful either.
Thanks

Insufficient how?

I've always found the ESQL reference in the WMB InfoCenter useful.
Looping in ESQL isn't that different from looping in any language. All the usual constructs are there.

Thanks for your quick reply.
The coding I need to do involves extensive looping and the looping I found only covers the basics in the infocenter. I have to learn in-depth. Please let me know if you can help me with something that deals in depth.
Thanks

Define "extensive" and "in-depth" to a level that's not covered by the InfoCenter. Looping is looping, even if you have multiple nested levels and complex conditional logic.

If your requirements are that extensive, I think you're going to be better off with a formal classroom based training course. I'm not aware of any online resource that handles esql better than what you've already found, or any online resource that handles looping (of which ESQL is just a variation) better than you've found.
Certainly this forum isn't set up for training.
Another popular option is to hire a consultant for your site with the relevant skills to mentor you as you do this task. It's often easier to sell this to management as the work is performed as you're being trained as opposed to disappearing off for a few weeks then having to do the work when you return.
All depends on your management, situation, budget, etc, etc.

Vitor,
I am new to the computer programming. Hence I am having trouble coding the loops. Thank you so much for your suggestion and I will follow up.
Thanks

Gosh! Do your hobbies include lion taming & free climbing? 
WMB & ESQL is not a straightforward product or language platform to learn on. I urge you to get experience with Java, .NET or something more standalone before trying your hand in here or find yourself a mentor/formal training.
Even if you get help with the loops, there are about 1000 other places you're likely to trip up through no fault of your own.
This is a tough road you've chosen & I wish you luck.

Don't even try to code the loops in ESQL at first.
Write down a plain language description of what the loops need to do, and how they need to intersect with each other.
Then figure out how to turn that into ESQL. |
