Usage Details
This example shows how to update a database using data from an HL7 message. The message is parsed into a read-only source HL7 node tree structure, and then used to generate a SQL UPDATE statement.
The process for using other message types follows the same general pattern.
How to use the code:
- Use a Filter or To Translator script
- Add the code
- Load the sample messages from sample_data.txt
- Alternatively you can also load the attached project which already contains the sample messages
- Inspect the code and annotations to see how it works
Note: See the Interface Tutorials (Iguana 5 documentation) section for more information database inserts and updates using other message types.
