Code Examples of esProc Foreign Key Function

If k (a single field or a combination of fields) is table M’s primary key, and k, at the same time, exists in table B, then k is regarded as B’s foreign key. The foreign key defines a relationship between two tables and is one of the most important concepts for structured data computing. Through object references, esPr...

esProc Charts: The Line Element

We learned how to plot a dot chart element using logical coordinates in esProc Charts: The Dot Element. Here we’ll learn about plotting the line element. The line element is another one of the most basic chart elements, which is positioned by at least two pairs of logical coordinates. If there are more logical coordina...

Performance Test of esProc Script Execution

Sometimes we may encounter computations too complicated to be handled solely using library functions. We need to hardcode the computational logic using scripts. In that case the interpretative and executional performance of the script becomes really important. Not a few traditional database tasks, being unable to be ex...

esProc Charts: The Axis Element

In esProc Charts: Coordinate Axes, we learned the basic usages of different coordinate axes and the setting of their properties. Once a logical axis is properly defined, the logical coordinates on it can be transformed into corresponding physical coordinates, according to which a certain chart element can be plotted. &...
