Result Processing

The output of the driver depends on the specific request made. Some methods, like Uql(), return a Response object, which requires you to extract the data and cast it into the corresponding driver type to serve the C# application. Other methods, like ShowGraph(), ShowSchema(), and ShowProperty(), return data of the driver type (GraphSet, Schema, Property, etc.) directly. Please read Types Mapping Ultipa and C# for a list of the core driver types.

Response

The Uql() and some other methods return a Response object. Response has the following fields:

If the query returns data, you can extract each item by its alias using the Get() or Alias() method. Both methods return a DataItem object, which embeds the query result. To map the DataItem to the corresponding driver type, please read Types Mapping Ultipa and C#.

Get()

Retrieves data by the alias index.

Parameters:

• int: Index of the alias.

Returns:

• DataItem: The retrieved data.

C#
var res = await ultipa.Uql("find().nodes() as n return n._id, n._uuid limit 3");
Console.WriteLine(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(res.Get(0)));

The UQL statement returns two aliases n._id and n._uuid; the Get() method retrieves the alias n._id at index 0.

Output
{"Data":{"Alias":"n._id","Attr":{"ValueType":7,"Values":[[85,76,84,73,80,65,56,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,49],[85,76,84,73,80,65,56,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,50],[85,76,84,73,80,65,56,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,48,51]]}},"AliasName":"n._id","OriginalResultType":4}

Alias()

Retrieves data by the alias name.

Parameters:

• string: Name of the alias.

Returns:

• DataItem: The retrieved data.

C#
var res = await ultipa.Uql("find().nodes() as n return n._id, n._uuid limit 3");
Console.WriteLine(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(res.Alias("n._uuid")));

The UQL statement returns two aliases n._id and n._uuid; the Alias() method retrieves the alias n._uuid by its name.

Output
{"Data":{"Alias":"n._uuid","Attr":{"ValueType":4,"Values":[[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1],[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2],[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,3]]}},"AliasName":"n._uuid","OriginalResultType":4}
