Saving a single object

This is a transaction operation responsible for saving a new object in the database. To add this operation to a Unit Of Work request, use the following operation in the request payload:

{
  "isolationLevelEnum" : "REPEATABLE_READ" | "READ_COMMITTED" | "READ_UNCOMMITTED" | "SERIALZABLE",
  "operations": [
    {
      "operationType": "CREATE",
      "table": "TABLENAME",
      "opResultId": "OPRESULT-ID",
      "payload": {
        "key1":"value",
        "key2": value
      }
    }
  ]
}

where:

Argument	Description
"operationType"	The value must be "CREATE", this designates the operation as "saving a single object". The object to save in the database is defined in the "payload" property.
"table"	The value must contain the name of the table where the object will be saved. The table must exist in the database before the transaction is executed.
"opResultId"	This is an optional property. If present, must contain an Id for this operation. An operation Id is a free-form string that must be unique within the transaction. If the result of this operation is to be used as an input in another operation within the same transaction, the Id will be used to reference the result.
"payload"	The value is mandatory. Must contain a JSON object which will be saved in a table identified with the "table" property.

Return Value

This operation returns the object saved in the database. The object will have the objectId property with the value assigned by the server. The object or any of its properties can be used in other operations of the same transaction. For more information see the Operation Result chapter of this guide.
