DbData db_data;
db_data.push_back(DbDatum("velocity"));
db_data.push_back(DbDatum("acceleration"));
db->get_class_attribute_property("StepperMotor", db_data);
float vel_max, vel_min, acc_max, acc_min;

void Tango::Database::put_class_pipe_property ( string  class_name,
DbData &  db 
)

Put class pipe property value in database.

Insert or update a list of pipe properties for the specified class. The pipe property names and their values are specified by the vector of DbDatum structures. Use the insert operator >> to insert the properties into the DbDatum structures. Here is an example of how to insert/update min, max properties for pipe velocity and min, max properties for pipe acceleration properties belonging to class StepperMotor into the database using this method :

DbDatum velocity("velocity"), vel_min("min"), vel_max("max");
DbDatum acceleration("acceleration"), acc_min("min"), acc_max("max");
DbData db_data;
velocity << 2;
vel_min << 0.0;
vel_max << 1000000.0;
db_data.push_back(velocity);
db_data.push_back(vel_min);
db_data.push_back(vel_max);
acceleration << 2;
acc_min << 0.0;
acc_max << 8000000;
db_data.push_back(acceleration);
db_data.push_back(acc_min);
db_data.push_back(acc_max);
db->put_class_pipe_property("StepperMotor", db_data);
Parameters
[in]class_nameThe class name
