  • 0

The object ‘wb’ (and, obviously, all superior objects) loads and holds information, but the tree to get at the database’s physical model is simply not loading. Internet searching got me bipkis, thus far.

(I was intending to write a routine to test for the existence of certain columns and add the appropriate trigger programatically. I’ve worked out a kludge using a regular expression and a database export, but this rankles a bit.)

Missing some form of simple activation? (connection perhaps)

The following fails with the error “AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘physicalModels'”:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# MySQL Workbench Python script
# <description>
# Written in MySQL Workbench 5.2.34

import grt
#import mforms #??
stOut=""
stTrigger="""
delimiter $$ 
create trigger `docdb_mk2`.tsi_{t} before insert on `docdb_mk2`.`{t}` 
for each row begin
set new.inserted=now();
end$$"""

# iterate through all tables from schema"""
schema = grt.root.wb.doc.physicalModels[0].catalog.schemata[0]
for table in schema.tables:
    #print table.name
    #if table. 
    #check to make sure both inserted and Updated are in the table
    #Since I have no clue how to do that in here, I'll skip it for now.
    stOut=stOut+stTrigger(t=table.name)

Even this fails:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# MySQL Workbench Python script
# <description>
# Written in MySQL Workbench 5.2.34
import grt
#import mforms
# iterate through all schemas

for schema in grt.root.wb.doc.physicalModels[0].catalog.schemata:
    print schema.name

Please note that I’m not asking for advice on my SQL at the moment, just on this irritating barrier in scripting.

Edit: Apparently, some of the objects load by loading up those elements in the UI. If there is some way of getting them to load elseways, I’d appreciate knowing, but it does seem that if you load the scripting module from the main Workbench screen, you get a partially initialized wb object. If you load the thing from a different subsystem, such as the data modeling module, (Scripting > Run Workbench Script File…) other parts are loaded and begin to work. Hmm.

    While this is not a complete solution this is my work in progress on trying to figure this out as well. From what I can tell the wb.docs.physicalModels object is only available when in ‘design/model’ mode, what I need to do it run a script in SQL Editor mode. The code below does execute queries and returns results, but I’m struggling with documentation not matching what I’m seeing in the objects right now. Hopefully this is of some help

    import grt

for editor in grt.root.wb.sqlEditors:
    # add some text to the 'Output' tab
    editor.addToOutput("Test", 0)

    results = editor.executeScript("show tables")
    #print results.rowCount()
    # the above throws an exception because what is returned from executeScript() differs from the docs
    print results

    for buffer in editor.queryBuffers:
        print buffer.replaceContents("test")
