GetClassObjectsByProperty
Purpose
The CMetaObject GetClassObjectsByProperty returns the list of CMetaObjects in the specified class which match selection criteria.
GetClassObjectsByProperty only returns the current version for objects in the class.
For more information on creating the propFilter for the search, see Chapter 8: “CMetaFilterInfo Class”.
For more information on building the strObjName parameter for a search, see “Name Search” on page 131.
For more information on building the sortList parameter, see “Sort List” on page 130.
For more information on using the columnFilters parameter, see “Column Filter” on page 132.
Description
The function allows the programmer to specify the property id, property value and comparison operator on which to perform the search. The properties to be returned can be restricted by using a columns filter.
If multiple properties are specified in the search, the logical operator between the property searches must also be specified. The name of the property upon which to sort the returned list can also be specified.

Argument |
In/Out |
Description |
objectList |
In/out |
Reference to the list of CMetaObjects that will hold the collection returned. The list is cleared before adding the return collection. |
propFilter |
In |
List of FilterInfo objects containing the property id and value to use to perform the search |
sortList |
In |
List of property identifiers (relative property id or name) to sort the collection by. The return list will be returned in ascending order and the sort will not be case specific. |
columnFilters |
In |
List of property IDs defining the common and unique properties to be set in each object. An empty vector means to return all properties. |
gClassID |
In |
Class GUID. |
lClassID |
In |
Class internal ID. |
StrObjName |
In |
Search string for names of objects in the class to be returned. |
WithLock |
In |
WithLock=true keeps the class table locked for WRITE. Use within an explicit transaction. Set WithLock to true when one of the class objects will subsequently be updated within the transaction. This prevents deadlocks caused by Teradata promotional locks. |
