Query definition

The AWE query engine is used for querying data on external systems. It works as an interface.

Note: All queries are defined in the queries.xml file at global folder. View project structure for more info. :::

SQL query

This section describes how database queries are handled with the AWE query engine.

XML sql structure

The complete sql query structure is the following:

Global Sql query structure

To simplify the development of queries, not all elements are required.

Elemento	Uso	Varias instancias	Descripción
query	Obligatorio	No	Outlines the query. Also describes the kind of query (service, queue, etc)
table	Obligatorio	Si	The table or table list over which the query is performed
field	Obligatorio	Si	Describes the column of the table
computed	Opcional	Si	Computed elements are used for retrieving query fields from other columns (field)
compound	Opcional	Si	Compound elements are a computed list. Used for retrieving complex structures
join	Opcional	Si	Used to make `joins` between tables
union	Opcional	Si	Used to make `unions` between tables
where	Opcional	No	`Where` clause in sql query. It has the condition list of fields
having	Opcional	No	`Having` clause in sql query. It has the condition list of fields for functions

DATE_MS: Transforms the output field (Date/String) into a java date in milliseconds (for chart datetime axes)
TIME: Transforms the output field (Date/String) into a web time field (HH:mm:ss)
TIMESTAMP: Transforms the output field (Date/String) into a web timestamp field (dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss)
TIMESTAMP_MS: Transforms the output field (Date/String) into a web timestamp field with milliseconds (dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS)
JS_DATE: Transforms the output field (Date/String) into a javascript date field (for chart axes) (MM/dd/yyyy)
JS_TIMESTAMP: Transforms the output field (Date/String) into a javascript timestamp field (MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss)
GENERIC_DATE: Transforms the output field (String) from a date format defined on format-from to a date format defined on format-to
DATE_RDB: Transforms the output field (String) from an English RDF format (dd-MMM-yyyy) to a web date field (dd/MM/yyyy)
ELAPSED_TIME: Transforms the output field (Long) from a long millisecond value to a localized string indicating the elapsed time (12h)
DATE_SINCE: Transforms the output field (Date) into a localized string with the time difference from now (5 min ago)
NUMBER: Transforms the output field as a number with a pattern. IMPORTANT:
When using this transform, the associated pattern has to have thousands separator. For instance: ###,###.00
NEVER use this transform if the retrieved data is for a numeric component
This transform is normally used when we want to show a numeric value in a visualization grid (columns without component)

When using this transform, the associated pattern must not have a thousands separator (e.g: ###.00)
It can be used for numeric components and elements that have no component.
This transform is normally used when we want to print numeric components and specify the number of decimals we want to see in the pdf file. Usually, the number of decimals of the pattern will match the "precision" defined in the number-format attribute of the numeric component.

Enumerated query

An enumerated query is a call to an enumerated group in the Enumerated.xml file.

It will not receive any input variables, and will return a list with two fields: value and label.

You can check out enumerate xml structure in this page

Xml enumerated structure

<!-- Example enumerated query -->
<query id="[Query id]" enumerated="[Id enumerated]" cacheable="[cacheable]">
  <field id="[Field label]"/>
  <field id="[Field value]"/>
</query>

Note: All enumerated are defined in the Enumerated.xml file at global folder. View project structure for more info.

Ejemplos de enumerados

<!-- Enumerated YES:1|NO:0 -->
<query id="Es1Es0" enumerated="Es1Es0">
  <field id="value"/>
  <field id="label"/>
</query>

<!-- Enumerated YES:Y|NO:N -->
<query id="EsyEnn" enumerated="EsyEnn">
  <field id="value"/>
  <field id="label"/>
</query>

Service query

Special type of queries used to call services, either if they are java or web services. A service query is composed by input variables and output fields.

You can view services xml structure in this page

Note: All services are defined in the Services.xml file at global folder. View project structure for more info.

Xml service structure

<query id="[Query ID]" service="[Service ID]" public="[Public]">
