Posted on by Giuseppe Montanaro 5

Hi,

I need to translate a Transact-SQL in Query Object but i don't know how to translate conditions.

For Example: 

select
m.id idMandati, m.Nome nomeMandato, coalesce(SF_DataAperturaPrimaLav(p.id),m.DataCessione) DataCessione,m.idGerp13 tipoMandato,
m.idGerp71 TipoCessionario, m.idAnagrafica idAnagCedente,
p.id, p.CodiceContabile, p.Nome, p.ContestatoDaCedente,
pc.id idCollegato, pc.idAnagrafica idAnagraficaCollegato, pc.TipoCollegato
from
mandati m, pratiche p, lavorazioni l, esiti_lista el, pratiche_collegati pc
where
m.id=911
and m.UtenteCancellazione is null
and m.id=p.idMandati and p.utentecancellazione is null
and l.idPratiche = p.id and l.UtenteCancellazione is null
and l.idEsiti_lista = el.id
and pc.idPratiche=p.id and (pc.Liberato=0 or (pc.Liberato=1 and pc.DataLiberazione>DataInizio)) #and pc.NoCR<>1
and (pc.DataCancellazione is null or pc.DataCancellazione>=DataFiltroCanc)
# and m.id = 1325
group by pc.id

Can someone help me?

Thanks

    Hi

    Giuseppe

    unfortunately the only solution is to redesign the query in AL

    Check my answer if it was helpful

    Hi, as far as I know, there is no tool to do this. You need to redesign Query according to your needs. In this case, you need to refer to the MS Docs provided by Marco.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    The query function in Business Central can only access Business Central data.  So that will not work if you try to access a table outside of Business Central. Then you will have to use some kind of integration tool. F.ex use dataverse or another kind of tool.

    Are you running BC online or on prem?

    You could f.ex. look at the Virtual table functionality.

    I think it will be easier to help you if you try to explain what Business Central tables you want to access and how you want to join them.

    The sql sample you provided does not seem to come from a Business Central database.

    Hi Marco,

    thanks for your answer but i'm looking for some "complex" query and documentation doesn't really talk about that.

    Regards,

    Giuseppe.
