Tweet-SQL: Working with public_timeline xml

Tweet-SQL allows you to use the Twitter API with TSQL.

Tweet-SQL includes the ability to work with resultsets in various ways; Relational Resultsets, a single columned XML result, or through OUTPUT parameters. These can be easily switched through using the Tweet-SQL Configuration Program or the supplied configuration stored procedures.

Relational Resultsets

This first example works from the following Tweet-SQL configuration...



Calling the public timeline is easy...



Don't like the first resultset appearing? No problem...



Fire up the Tweet-SQL Configuration program and change the "No Type Array" combo box as above, File > Save Config. Alternatively you could use the tweet_cfg_no_type_array stored procedure to achieve the same result. Now the first resultset will be omitted.



XML Resultsets

Maybe you would prefer to return the public timeline in a resultset as raw xml? In the Tweet-SQL Configuration program change the "Result Type" Combo Box as below. File > Save Config.



Now the following will be returned...



Click on the xml to view the entire document...



OUTPUT Parameters

OUTPUT parameters are always available for use but, If you prefer, you can work exclusively with OUTPUT parameters by changing the "Result Type" combo box to "No ResultSets".



The below screen-shot shows a simple of example of working with Tweet-SQL in this way.
