Dynamics Community Forum Thread Details

Hi All,

I would be very appreciative if someone could please point me to a detailed discussion/documentation on how BC resolves the SQL being sent into it via OData query.

Specifically how the where clauses are applied and when they are applied.

We are learning how to query BC on prem / cloud using both PowerBI and the ODBC Driver for Dynamics 365 from CData.

We sent a query for Chart_of_Accounts into OData using the CData ODBS Driver selecting account 1000.

We logged the SQL using SQL Server Profiler.

And there was no where clause applied in the underlying SQL sent into SQL Server.

At least we didn't see that.

I believe that filters can be applied on the query string for the odata query but it appears that the CData driver does not do this.

I am sure that someone has written detailed documentation on this but I could not find it when I searched.

So any pointer would be greatly appreciated.

I have put the SQL that got generated below. It appears that the APIs that expose data out to OData have quite a lot of logic built into them to present exactly what is supposedly desired.

It is not simply dumping the GL Account Table.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be willing to offer us.

Best Regards

Peter
