SQL SELECT Query *

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.

SELECT
   * 
FROM
   app_fd_table 
WHERE
   id = ?

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:

SELECT `myAppName.myColumn` FROM app_fd_myTable;
  • 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..


Sample: SELECT * FROM dir_user

SQL Select Query (Data) *

Sample: SELECT locale, active, COUNT(active) as `count` FROM #data# GROUP BY active, locale

Primary Key *

Primary key of the table.
