Creating queries dynamically

Hi all,

is it possible to create queries dynamically? Let's say from codeunits or similar.

I would like to expose query objects as API's based on customer preferences, without uploading new extensions.

Thanks!

RE: Creating queries dynamically

Hello,

We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist. If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

dynamicsuser.net/.../developers

I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.

Thanks.

RE: Creating queries dynamically

Hi Josh,

thank you for this info, but I need solution without customer intervention.

I'm developing control add-in that will be embedded inside BC. This control add-in will have business logic and based on current state I need to dynamically create queries to expose the data.

One solution would be to dynamically create AL files and compile extension outside of BC and install it to expose API's. This whole procedure can be automated, but it's not acceptable in my case because I would need external server to do this.

The other solution is to use RecordRef.Open(tableId), read content and return it to caller. But I don't wan't to do this, because I suppose concating large strings can be big issue. As well as this isn't elegant solution

If I could expose api's programatically would be perfect solution for my case

There is a wizard which let’s you configure a page/query objects and set specific fields and filters:
