MSSQL Reporting

Question

Hi,

I'm working on a new reporting infrastructure, I need Jira SQL queries for MsSQL reporting services.

Can you share queries if you have?

Regards

I strongly recommend using SQL as the reporting tool of last resort.  You'll need to build and maintain your own data dictionary, and believe me, you'll be in hell for a long time if you do that, and you'll then need to re-analyse on every new version of any part of the system you upgrade.  Jira uses a database as a data store, and most of the actual relationships you will need are done in the code, not the database.  "Get issue" sounds simple.  If you want it in one line of SQL, you are going to need a minimum of 18 joins...  Don't do it.

Two much better options:

* Get a reporting tool that already understands it.  Have a look in the Atlassian Marketplace.  Things like Dataplane and EazyBI understand the Jira database
* Report using REST - the external data model that exposes is much friendlier and changes less
