Usq sql within a user macro with the sql dynamically constructed

Question

Hi, I would like to have a usermacro, taking the name of the page and constructing a sql statement that I could pass to the sql macro. The outline is : #set ($query = "select field1, field2 from somtable where field1 ="+$content.getTitle()) mysource INLINE false

How do I substitue my $query in the macro ? Thank you Christophe

Hi @Avinash Bhagawati _Appfire_ We use SQL for Confluence (Pro Edition) and would like to ask if we can achieve the same thing or if we need Run Macro as well. We are trying to make a SQL Query and use our Confluence page title in the query.

Hi @Christophe Bonvin ,

Thanks for raising your query through Atlassian Community and we have raised to support request https://bobswift.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/SUPPORT-3076 from our end and please sign up to portal to view the support request.

With the help of Run Macro from Run Self Service Reports app you will be able to configure pre-defined variables  for $page_title and the SQL macro needs to be embedded within Run Macro.

Please find below screenshot for your reference and please note that in below screenshot $page_title will be substituted in SQL macro.

Thanks,

Avinash

Hi,

The issue is not with the sql macro, which is not part of confluence, but provided by Bob Swift from Appfire as a very useful plugin.

The issue is how to pass a variable into CDATA[...] for rendering. With the "old" wiki markup, it was possible to use something like

#set ($runMacro =" {sql-query:datasource=source}select somestuff from sometable{sql-query}")

$action.getHelper().renderConfluenceMacro($runMacro)

I do not know how to do that with the new format.

Regards,

Christophe
