      attr - a string with the link ID MCRATTR
    • delete

      void delete(String from, String to, String type)
      The method remove a item for the from ID from the datastore.
      Parameters:
      from - a string with the link ID MCRFROM
      to - an array of strings with the link ID MCRTO
      type - an array of strings with the link ID MCRTYPE
    • countTo

      int countTo(String fromtype, String to, String type, String restriction)
      The method count the number of references with '%from%' and 'to' and optional 'type' and optional 'restriction%' values of the table.

      Returns:
      the number of references
    • getCountedMapOfMCRTO

      Map<String,Number> getCountedMapOfMCRTO(String mcrtoPrefix)
      The method returns a Map of all counted distinct references
