Question

As a learning exercise, I’m trying to query ScriptDb and return a person’s name when my script has their email address. The function below returns “ScriptDbResult” instead of the correct name (which should be Patrick Farmer – see the list below the function). Can somebody please advise on what I’m doing wrong?

function getNameFromDb() {
var email = "[e-mail]";
var db = ScriptDb.getMyDb();
var result = db.query(
    {Names: {Emails: email}});
Logger.log(result);
}

This is what the Logger shows is in the database:

{
  "Emails": "[e-mail]",
  "Names": "Luca Jenkins"
}
{
  "Emails": "[e-mail]",
  "Names": "Patrick Farmer"
}
{
  "Emails": "[e-mail]",
  "Names": "Elizabeth Jennings"
}
{
  "Emails": "[e-mail]",
  "Names": "Gabriel Ryan"
}

Answer 1

You are almost there. You indeed get back a ScriptDBResult object. You need to fecth results using the next method

while (result.hasNext()){
  var obj = result.next(); 
  Logger.log(obj.Names);
  Logger.log(obj.Emails);
}
