Odoo gives the developer several options  for working with data .<\/p>\n

In this article, we will be looking at the XML data options in odoo.
\nWe will study how to create , update and  delete the records using xml data.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\n

Create DEMO DATA File<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

First of all you need to create a xml file(let’s say demo.xml)  Like:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n<odoo>\n    <data noupdate=\"1\">\n    <\/data>\n<\/odoo>\n\n<\/pre>\n
Here noupdate<\/strong> is set to true for ensuring that on module update  this xml will not executed again and again.<\/p>\n
It’s time to include your xml file in data or demo<\/strong> key of __mainifest__.py.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Create  Records<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
For creating the record of model  , create a <record\/><\/strong> tag and place the fields Like:<\/p>\n
<record model=\"model_name\" id=\"record_id\">\n    <field name=\"field_name\">field_data<\/field>\n<\/record>\n\n\n<\/pre>\n
<record model=\"product.product\" id=\"product_webkul\">\n    <field name=\"name\">Webkul Product<\/field>\n<\/record><\/pre>\n
Now your xml file will look like:<\/p>\n
<odoo>\n    <data noupdate=\"1\">\n        <record model=\"product.product\" id=\"product_webkul\">\n            <field name=\"name\">Webkul Product<\/field>\n        <\/record>\n    <\/data>\n<\/odoo><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Modify  Records<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Some time you  may required to update the previously<\/span> created record by other module.
\nFor this create the record with  id (module_name.record_id<\/strong>) in your module like:<\/p>\n
<record model=\"model_name\" id=\"module_name.record_id\">\n    <field name=\"field_name\">new_field_data<\/field>\n<\/record>\n\n<\/pre>\n
<record model=\"product.product\" id=\"product.service_order_01\">\n    <field name=\"name\">Demo Product<\/field>\n<\/record>\n<\/pre>\n
NOTE<\/strong>: you must place the module_name in depends of __mainifest__.py<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
Delete  Records<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In case you want to delete the record , use <delete\/><\/strong> tag  along with id or search<\/strong>   like:<\/p>\n
<delete model=\"model_name\"   search=\"[('id','=',ref('module_name.record_id'))]\"\/>\n<delete model=\"model_name\" id=\"module_name.record_id\"\/><\/pre>\n
<delete model=\"product.product\" search=\"[('id','=', ref('product.service_order_01'))]\"\/>\n<delete model=\"product.product\" id=\"product.service_delivery\"\/><\/pre>\n
While using  search you can specify  domain  on fields also like<\/p>\n
<delete model=\"product.product\" search=\"[('name','=','demo'),('sale_ok','=',False)]\"\/>\n\n<\/pre>\n
NOTE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
You must also place the module_name in depends  keys of __mainifest__.py.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
