Data Binder
...

SQL Query
...
: When Datasource is set to use any of the "Datasource", this option will show up. You use an SQL Query to produce the dataset required for the graph type. The first column in the dataset will be assumed for the X-axis/label.
Example 1:The first column to be returned from the query must be a label (X-axis), followed by value columns for the Y-axis.
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|

SELECT
c_status AS 'status',
COUNT(c_status) AS 'count'
FROM
app_fd_tix_tickets
WHERE
c_status IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY
c_status |

Example 2:

SELECT
c.c_claimant,
SUM( CAST( replace(c.c_total, '$', '') AS DECIMAL(10, 2)) ) AS 'total',
AVG( CAST( replace(c.c_total, '$', '') AS DECIMAL(10, 2)) ) AS 'avg'
FROM
