SQL SELECT Query for Load Data

The SQL query specific to your database type (MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, etc.). Use question mark ? in your query to represent the primary key or foreign key.

Code Block
languagesql
titleExample
linenumberstrue
SELECT
   * 
FROM
   app_fd_table 
WHERE
   id = ?
Note

If a column name contains reserved keywords, do ensure it is encapsulated properly.

For example for MySQL, if the column identifier itself contains a dot symbol ( . ), it should be encapsulated like this:

Code Block
languagesql
SELECT `myAppName.myColumn` FROM app_fd_myTable;
Info
titleTable & Column Naming
  • For database tables created by Joget Forms, Joget adds a "c_" in front of table column names (or "t_" if your column name starts with a number) and "app_fd_" in front of database table names.
  • If you use environment hash variables to store SQL query strings, use "?noescape" to escape SQL query strings in JDBC binders to prevent the "<>" "not equal" operator from being converted, i.e. disables XSS prevention checking. Read here for more information..

Handling for field workflow variable?

Click to select if you are using workflow variables mapping in your form elements. Not applicable for grid elements.

Handling for uploaded files?

Click to select if you are using file or image attachments in your form elements

Form to store uploaded files

Select form to store uploaded files only if you are using form grid or spreadsheet.

SQL SELECT Query for store binderData Store

The SQL query specific to your database type (MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, etc.). Use syntax like {field_id} in query to inject submitted form data.

Code Block
languagesql
titleExample
linenumberstrue
SELECT
   * 
FROM
   app_fd_table 
WHERE
   id =  {id}

Note: If you use JDBC in a form grid or spreadsheet for load or save binderdata store, be advised the SQL syntax is different from form load or save binderdata store. Kindly download and view the sample app for JDBC in a form grid or spreadsheet.

SQL INSERT Query

Use syntax like curly brackets {field_id} in query to inject submitted form data. 

Code Block
languagesql
titleExample
linenumberstrue
INSERT app_fd_table 
       (id, 
        c_name, 
        c_emailaddress) 
VALUES ({id}, 
        {name}, 
        {emailAddress}) 

You can use {uuid} to tell Joget to create a random unique id or a "Universally unique identifier". Example:

Code Block
languagesql
titleExample
linenumberstrue
INSERT app_fd_table
       (id,
        c_name,
        c_emailAddress
VALUES ({uuid},
        {name},
        {emailAddress})

For JDBC SQL INSERT in a grid, use "{foreignKey}" syntax to populate the parent id into the child table foreign key value, as follows:
Code Block
INSERT app_fd_table_child (
	id,
	c_name,
	c_fk)
VALUES (
	{uuid},
	{name},
	{foreignKey})
SQL UPDATE Query

Use syntax like curly brackets {field_id} in query to inject submitted form data.

Code Block
languagesql
titleExample
linenumberstrue
UPDATE app_fd_table 
SET    id = {id}, 
       c_name = {name}, 
       c_emailaddress = {emailAddress}, 
       c_contacttel = {contactTel} 
WHERE  id = {id} 
SQL DELETE Query

SQL statement to delete form data records in Datalist/Grid element. Use syntax like curly brackets {id} in query to inject form data primary key value.

Code Block
languagesql
titleExample
linenumberstrue
DELETE
FROM
   app_fd_table 
WHERE
   id = {id}
Handling for field workflow variable?Click the checkbox if you are using workflow variables mapping in your form elements. The JDBC binder will copy the field value to the workflow variable when you submit the form if the form is mapped to a  process. Not applicable to grid elements.

Handling for uploaded files?

Click the checkbox if you are using file or image attachments in your form elements. The JDBC binder will save your file or image attachment into the ".\wflow" folder when you save the form. Select form to store uploaded files only if you are using a form grid or spreadsheet.

Form to store uploaded files

Select form to store uploaded files only if you are using form grid or spreadsheet.

ERROR org.joget.plugin.enterprise.JdbcLoadBinder - java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: .....

The property SQL SELECT Query is incorrect. Do also check the SQL lower or upper case spelling on table and column names, especially if you are running a database on a Linux OS which is case sensitive.
ERROR org.joget.plugin.enterprise.JdbcLoadBinder - java.sql.SQLException: Could not set parameter at position 1 (values was '?') Query - conn:506(M) - SELECT * FROM app_fd_table WHERE id = "?"

Do not enclosed the ? in single or double quotation marks. Correct syntax is:

SELECT * FROM app_fd_table WHERE id = ?

ERROR org.joget.tutorial.JdbcOptionsBinder - com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException:
The value is not set for the parameter number 2

DB error on JDBC Options with "Field ID to control available options based on Grouping". You can only pass one ? parameter in the SQL.
