如何在datomic中使用基数更新/覆盖ref属性?

标签: clojure datomic

假设我有一个包含属性:x/value的架构,其中:x/value是一个组件,是一个ref,并且基数很多。该架构还具有x :x/id的ID。

现在让我们说我交易以下内容:

(d/transact conn [{:x/id "1234" :x/value [{:text "test"}]}])

然后我想更新这个值,这意味着我想要替换:x/value,所以最后我有一个像这样的实体:

{:db/id <some eid>
 :x/id "1234"
 :x/value [{:text "replacement"}]}

我该怎么做?

到目前为止,我已尝试过以下方法:

(d/transact conn [{:x/id "1234" :x/value [{:text "replacement"}]}])

但这只是添加了一个新的参考,所以我得到了一个实体:

{:db/id <some eid>
 :x/id "1234"
 :x/value [{:text "test"} {:text "replacement"}]}

我认为,实现我想要的方法的一种方法是通过实体ID手动收回两个:text属性,然后为x实体执行新的添加事务。

但我想知道是否有更好的方法来做到这一点。有什么想法吗?

您需要撤消旧值,然后使用新值更新它:

[:db/retract  entity-id attribute old-value]
[:db/add      entity-id attribute new-value]

请参阅http://docs.datomic.com/transactions.html

您可以在the James Bond example from Tupelo Datomic中查看更多详情。以下是创建属性的方法:

  (td/transact *conn* ;   required              required              zero-or-more
                      ;  <attr name>         <attr value type>       <optional specs ...>
    (td/new-attribute   :person/name         :db.type/string         :db.unique/value)      ; each name      is unique
    (td/new-attribute   :person/secret-id    :db.type/long           :db.unique/value)      ; each secret-id is unique
    (td/new-attribute   :weapon/type         :db.type/ref            :db.cardinality/many)  ; one may have many weapons
    (td/new-attribute   :location            :db.type/string)     ; all default values
    (td/new-attribute   :favorite-weapon     :db.type/keyword ))  ; all default values

假设詹姆斯把刀扔向别墅。我们需要将其从数据库中删除。

(td/transact *conn* 
  (td/retract-value james-eid :weapon/type :weapon/knife))
(is (= (td/entity-map (live-db) james-eid)  ; lookup by EID 
       {:person/name "James Bond" :location "London" :weapon/type #{:weapon/wit :weapon/gun} :person/secret-id 7 } ))

一旦詹姆斯击败了诺博士,我们就需要从数据库中删除他(以及他拥有的一切)。

; We see that Dr No is in the DB...
(let [tuple-set   (td/find  :let    [$ (live-db)]
                            :find   [?name ?loc] ; <- shape of output tuples
                            :where  {:person/name ?name :location ?loc} ) ]
  (is (= tuple-set #{ ["James Bond"     "London"]
                      ["M"              "London"]
                      ["Dr No"          "Caribbean"]
                      ["Honey Rider"    "Caribbean"] } )))
; we do the retraction...
(td/transact *conn*
  (td/retract-entity [:person/name "Dr No"] ))
; ...and now he's gone!
(let [tuple-set   (td/find  :let    [$ (live-db)]
                            :find   [?name ?loc]
                            :where  {:person/name ?name :location ?loc} ) ]
  (is (= tuple-set #{ ["James Bond"     "London"]
                      ["M"              "London"]
                      ["Honey Rider"    "Caribbean"] } )))

更新:Native Datomic Solution

使用原生数据库几乎完全相同,只是不如图珀洛那么甜:

; Dr No is no match for James. He gives up trying to use guile...
; Remove it using native Datomic.
(spy :before (td/entity-map (live-db) [:person/name "Dr No"]))
(d/transact *conn*
            [[:db/retract [:person/name "Dr No"] :weapon/type :weapon/guile]])
(is (= (spy :after (td/entity-map (live-db) [:person/name "Dr No"])) ; LookupRef
       {:person/name "Dr No"
        :location "Caribbean"
        :weapon/type #{:weapon/knife :weapon/gun}}))

:before => {:person/name "Dr No",
            :weapon/type #{:weapon/guile :weapon/knife :weapon/gun},
            :location "Caribbean"}
:after  => {:person/name "Dr No",
            :weapon/type #{:weapon/knife :weapon/gun},
            :location "Caribbean"}

更新#2:

旁注:我注意到您的示例显示了:arb/value [{:db/id 17592186045435, :content/text "tester"}],这是一个长度为1的地图列表。这与我的示例不同:武器/类型只是一个平原一套N个项目。此输出差异是因为您使用的是Datomic的pull API。但是,这不会影响您的原始问题。

我们都知道多年来詹姆斯有很多邦德女孩。这是一个如何添加一些蜂蜜的例子,他们将其中一个降级:

(defn get-bond-girl-names []
    (let [result-pull (d/pull (live-db) [:bond-girl] [:person/name "James Bond"])
          bond-girl-names (forv [girl-entity (grab :bond-girl result-pull) ]
                               (grab :person/name (td/entity-map (live-db) (grab :db/id girl-entity))))
          ]
      bond-girl-names))

  (td/transact *conn*
    (td/new-attribute :bond-girl :db.type/ref :db.cardinality/many))  ; there are many Bond girls

  (let [tx-result          @(td/transact *conn*
                              (td/new-entity {:person/name "Sylvia Trench"})
                              (td/new-entity {:person/name "Tatiana Romanova"})
                              (td/new-entity {:person/name "Pussy Galore"})
                              (td/new-entity {:person/name "Bibi Dahl"})
                              (td/new-entity {:person/name "Octopussy"})
                              (td/new-entity {:person/name "Paris Carver"})
                              (td/new-entity {:person/name "Christmas Jones"}))
        tx-datoms          (td/tx-datoms (live-db) tx-result)
        girl-datoms        (vec (remove #(= :db/txInstant (grab :a %)) tx-datoms))
        girl-eids          (mapv :e girl-datoms)
        txr-2              (td/transact *conn*
                             (td/update [:person/name "James Bond"] ; update using a LookupRef
                               {:bond-girl girl-eids})
                             (td/update [:person/name "James Bond"] ; don't forget to add Honey Rider!
                               {:bond-girl #{[:person/name "Honey Rider"]}}))

  ]
    (is (= (get-bond-girl-names)
          ["Sylvia Trench" "Tatiana Romanova" "Pussy Galore" "Bibi Dahl"
           "Octopussy" "Paris Carver" "Christmas Jones" "Honey Rider"]))
    ; Suppose Bibi Dahl is just not refined enough for James. Give her a demotion.
    (td/transact *conn*
      (td/retract-value [:person/name "James Bond"] :bond-girl [:person/name "Bibi Dahl"]))

    (newline)
    (is (= (get-bond-girl-names)  ; Note that Bibi Dahl is no longer listed
          ["Sylvia Trench" "Tatiana Romanova" "Pussy Galore"
           "Octopussy" "Paris Carver" "Christmas Jones" "Honey Rider"] ))
    )

请注意,您只能使用LookupRef [:person/name "Honey Rider"],因为:person/name属性有:db.unique/value。如果您的:content/text不是:db.unique/value,则必须使用EID将其与父实体分离。
