Creating new table runtime

General
1

Hi ,

I am new to backendless . I have successfully created table by defining class “newclass” and using Backendless.Persistence.save .
Problem :

I need to create new table of type “newClass” but with different name everytime (not updating existing) but don’t know how to provide new name to table fromk same class.

Scenario : multiple Dealer receives order from multiple subdealers . I have one template class for orders that will be received from subdealers and want to create new table for every new order (using template class) .

Please suggest solution .

Thanks .

Hi Ashutosh,

If I understood you correctly, you want to re-use the same client-side class, but store instances of that class in a table with different name every time?

if this is the case, you should do this before you save an object of that class (in Android):

Backendless.Data.mapTableToClass( “table name”, YourClass.class );

However, I’d question your design approach here. Creating new tables for each new order does not seem right. Why won’t you store all the orders in one table? You could have a related order called “Dealer” and establish a relationship between Dealer and Order tables…

Thanks Mark ! This resolves my problem :slight_smile:

This design is preferred due to other requirements of application .
