Create, get, remove datatable relations in Spotfire using Python

Create, get, remove datatable relations in Spotfire using Python

Imagine you have a data table with countries:

Country code	Country name
HKG	Hong Kong
ISR	Israel
MYS	Malaysia

And data table with languages related to these countries:

Country code	Language	Percentage
HKG	Canton Chinese	88.7
HKG	Chiu chau	1.4
HKG	English	2.2
HKG	Fukien	1.9
HKG	Hakka	1.6
ISR	Arabic	18.0
ISR	Hebrew	63.1
ISR	Russian	8.9
MYS	Chinese	9.0
MYS	Dusun	1.1
MYS	English	1.6
MYS	Iban	2.8
MYS	Malay	58.4
MYS	Tamil	3.9

Where "Country code" is the common field.

You would like to create link between these tables. It is possible to create relation manually in Spotfire, but for some reason you need to create it automatically via Python script.

Create relation between tables

def add_relation(table1, table2, link_expression):
    Document.Data.Relations.Add(
        Document.Data.Tables[table1],
        Document.Data.Tables[table2],
        link_expression)

Usage:

add_relation("country", "lang", "[lang].[Country code]=[country].[Country code]")

Now you are able to select country in the "country" table and all related languages from the "lang" table will also be selected.

Like here:

Get relation expression

def get_relation(table1, table2):
    return Document.Data.Relations.FindRelation(
        Document.Data.Tables[table1],
        Document.Data.Tables[table2])

Usage:

print(get_relation("country", "lang").Expression)
# [lang].[Country code]=[country].[Country code]

Delete relation

def del_relation(table1, table2):
    relation = Document.Data.Relations.FindRelation(
        Document.Data.Tables[table1],
        Document.Data.Tables[table2])
    if relation:
        Document.Data.Relations.Remove(relation)

Usage:

del_relation("country", "lang")
