It is possible to use jql to extract data from databases and use this information in jira/confluenc?

Jesús Rafael Martínez Jiménez January 8, 2024

The idea is to use the stored data to access with JQL without using the provided embedded link or filters.

Hey @Jesús Rafael Martínez Jiménez - can I get some clarification. Are you asking how to basically query information from a database so that you can use that information in Jira?

Would you be able to give me a concrete example I can use to understand? What information would you want to query from a database and how are you putting this back into Jira. With that, I'll be able to tell you what we have today or where we're headed. Thanks!

I have a similar question - and I think where this is going to be able to do easy queries on the DB's

A good example - I thought to log the feature request "enable advanced queries like in JIRA".  In other words the logical query 

If for instance you want to extract / count status="in progess" AND DocumentName like "%BPF%" in database="sample_database"

This would do a wildcard search for any word/string BPF within the specified field (DocumentName) where the status field also equals "in progress".  Have the ability to then do counts / sums etc would be HUGE. 

I want to for instance track about 500 documents - where we have 10 consultants working on different pages.  We have the board view which is great, and we can add the "view" to filter only for that resource etc - but from a management point of view / dashboarding / reporting having the query ability would be awesome!!

This could also then be used for "single page query" - where one could focus and add a query that is only pertaining to that document - and when the consultant changes it, they just update the status field - and the rest will start to trickle through... 

Hope it makes sense in my words, and that this is the correct place - otherwise I will also create a separate ticket/FR

Sorry, @Divya Sriram I never noticed about your answer. In my case, I need to use the information on DB to use it in Confluence through queries (JQL), I know that is possible to use DB through embedded, but is not efficient. Another case, is when I need to populate my DB with info in Jira or Confluence and know using JQL it's possible to do it.
