I am currently learning Play2, Scala and Slick 3.1, and am pretty stuck with the syntax for using insertOrUpdate and wonder if anyone can please help me.
What I want to do is to return the full row when using insertOrUpdate including the auto inc primary key, but I have only managed to return the number of updated/inserted rows.
Here is my table definition:
package models
final case class Report(session_id: Option[Long], session_name: String, tester_name: String, date: String, jira_ref: String,
duration: String, environment: String, notes: Option[String])
trait ReportDBTableDefinitions {
import slick.driver.PostgresDriver.api._
class Reports(tag: Tag) extends Table[Report](tag, "REPORTS") {
def session_id = column[Long]("SESSION_ID", O.PrimaryKey, O.AutoInc)
def session_name = column[String]("SESSION_NAME")
def tester_name = column[String]("TESTER_NAME")
def date = column[String]("DATE")
def jira_ref = column[String]("JIRA_REF")
def duration = column[String]("DURATION")
def environment = column[String]("ENVIRONMENT")
def notes = column[Option[String]]("NOTES")
def * = (session_id.?, session_name, tester_name, date, jira_ref, duration, environment, notes) <> (Report.tupled, Report.unapply)
}
lazy val reportsTable = TableQuery[Reports]
}
Here is the section of my DAO that relates to insertOrUpdate, and it works just fine, but only returns the number of updated/inserted rows:
package models
import com.google.inject.Inject
import play.api.db.slick.DatabaseConfigProvider
import scala.concurrent.Future
class ReportsDAO @Inject()(protected val dbConfigProvider: DatabaseConfigProvider) extends DAOSlick {
import driver.api._
def save_report(report: Report): Future[Int] = {
dbConfig.db.run(reportsTable.insertOrUpdate(report).transactionally)
}
}
I have tried playing with "returning" but I can't get the syntax I need and keep getting type mismatches e.g. the below doesn't compile (because it's probably completely wrong!)
def save_report(report: Report): Future[Report] = {
dbConfig.db.run(reportsTable.returning(reportsTable).insertOrUpdate(report))
}
Any help appreciated - I'm new to Scala and Slick so apologies if I'm missing something really obvious.
Solved - posting it incase it helps anyone else trying to do something similar:
//will return the new session_id on insert, and None on update
def save_report(report: Report): Future[Option[Long]] = {
val insertQuery = (reportsTable returning reportsTable.map(_.session_id)).insertOrUpdate(report)
dbConfig.db.run(insertQuery)
}
Works well - insertOrUpdate doesn't returning anything it seems on update, so if I need to get the updated data after the update operation I can then run a subsequent query to get the information using the session id.
