SQL Query

When Datasource is set to "Default Datasource" or "Custom 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
languagesql
titleExample
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:

Code Block
languagesql
titleSQL
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
    app_fd_j_expense_claim c 
GROUP BY
    c.c_claimant
