Missing tables and procedures for C and Cpp - 1.0

Compatibility: v2 v3 Express
What's new? Release Notes
ID: com.castsoftware.cpp.missingtable

Description

This extension is designed to analyze SQL queries embedded in C/C++ code and create “missing” SQL and C/C++ table / procedure objects to represent SQL objects that have not been delivered for analysis. Links to these objects are also created. The primary goal of the extension is to ensure that a full transaction is identified by CAST, resulting from the SQL queries embedded in the C/C++ code, even if none or only part of the referenced SQL objects are delivered for analysis.

Supported client languages

Language Supported?
C/C++ ✅

Transactions

Transaction support is derived from metamodel concepts used to build CAST Imaging Blueprint and structural transaction flows. Entry Points start transactions; Exit Points include both output/boundary concepts and Data Entities manipulated by transactions.

Role Support Breakdown
Entry Point No direct concept type details
Exit Point
  • Procedure
Data Entity with Accurate FP
  • Table
Data Entities
  • SQL Table - Unresolved

Data version: 1.0.6-funcrel

ISO 5055 Structural Rules

Quality support is based on ISO 5055 structural rules available for the selected extension version.

Reliability Maintainability Security Performance Efficiency

Data version: 1.0.6-funcrel

Prerequisites

Item Description
✅ An installation of any compatible release of CAST Core (see table above)
✅ An installation of com.castsoftware.sqlanalyzer (from version ≥ 3.6.9-funcrel). Embedded tables were introduced in version 3.8.0-funcrel and system table in 3.8.1-funcrel.

Download and installation instructions

The extension will be automatically downloaded and installed in CAST Console when C/C++ source code is delivered for analysis. You can manage it using the Application - Extensions interface.

Objects

Type Name Description
Embedded Procedure Embedded Procedure Represents a procedure or function declared or created in a C/C++ query when it is missing from the analyzed DDL files.
Missing Procedure Missing Procedure Represents a procedure or function called by a C/C++ query but missing from the analyzed DDL files.
Missing Procedure SQL Missing Procedure Represents a missing procedure or function called by a C/C++ query when exactly one SQL schema is available.
Embedded Schema Embedded Schema Parent of embedded tables and procedures, attached to the C/C++ project.
Missing Schema Missing Schema Parent of missing tables and procedures, attached to the C/C++ project.
System Schema System Schema Parent of system tables, attached to the C/C++ project.
Embedded Table Embedded Table Represents a table created, dropped, altered, replaced, renamed, or declared in a C/C++ query when it is missing from the analyzed DDL files.
Missing Table Missing Table Represents a table or view referenced by a C/C++ query but missing from the analyzed DDL files.
Missing Table SQL Missing Table Represents a missing table or view referenced by a C/C++ query when exactly one SQL schema is available.
System Table System Table Represents a system table or view referenced by a C/C++ query but missing from the analyzed DDL files.
System Table SQL System Table Represents a system table or view referenced by a C/C++ query when exactly one SQL schema is available.

Links are created for transaction and function point needs. You can expect the following links on the C/C++ Embedded SQL queries:

  • useSelect/useUpdate/useDelete/useInsert from C/C++ Query  to Embedded Table / Missing Table / System Table / SQL Missing Table / SQL System Table
  • call from C/C++ Query to Missing Procedure/SQL Missing Procedure
  • ddl/ddlCreate/ddlDrop/ddlAlter/ddlReplace from C/C++ Query to Embedded Table
