You'll need to make a join on the ticket_custom table, but this isn't especially easy. 247 249 248 250 If you have tickets in the database ''before'' you declare the extra fields in trac.ini, there will be no associated data in the ticket_custom table. To get around this, use SQL's "LEFT OUTER JOIN" clauses. See [trac:TracIniReportCustomFieldSample TracIniReportCustomFieldSample] for some examples. 249 251 250 '''Note that you need to set up permissions in order to see the buttons for adding or editing reports.''' 252 === A note about SQL rewriting #rewriting 253 254 Beyond the relatively trivial replacement of dynamic variables, the SQL query is also altered in order to support two features of the reports: 255 1. [#sort-order changing the sort order] 256 2. pagination support (limitation of the number of result rows displayed on each page) 257 In order to support the first feature, the sort column is inserted in the `ORDER BY` clause in the first position or in the second position if a `__group__` column is specified (an `ORDER BY` clause is created if needed). In order to support pagination, a `LIMIT ... OFFSET ...` clause is appended. 258 The query might be too complex for the automatic rewrite to work correctly, resulting in an erroneous query. In this case you still have the possibility to control exactly how the rewrite is done by manually inserting the following tokens: 259 - `@SORT_COLUMN@`, the place where the name of the selected sort column will be inserted, 260 - `@LIMIT_OFFSET@`, the place where the pagination support clause will be added 261 Note that if you write them after an SQL comment, `--`, you'll effectively disable rewriting if this is what you want! 262 263 Let's take an example, consider the following SQL query: 264 {{{ 265 -- ## 4: Assigned, Active Tickets by Owner ## -- 266 267 -- 268 -- List assigned tickets, group by ticket owner, sorted by priority. 269 -- 270 271 SELECT p.value AS __color__, 272 owner AS __group__, 273 id AS ticket, summary, component, milestone, t.type AS type, severity, time AS created, 274 changetime AS _changetime, description AS _description, 275 reporter AS _reporter 276 FROM ticket t,enum p 277 WHERE status = 'assigned' 278 AND p.name=t.priority AND p.type='priority' 279 ORDER BY __group__, p.value, severity, time 280 }}} 281 282 The automatic rewrite will be the following (4 rows per page, page 2, sorted by `component`): 283 {{{ 284 SELECT p.value AS __color__, 285 owner AS __group__, 286 id AS ticket, summary, component, milestone, t.type AS type, severity, time AS created, 287 changetime AS _changetime, description AS _description, 288 reporter AS _reporter 289 FROM ticket t,enum p 290 WHERE status = 'assigned' 291 AND p.name=t.priority AND p.type='priority' 292 ORDER BY __group__ ASC, `component` ASC, __group__, p.value, severity, time 293 LIMIT 4 OFFSET 4 294 }}} 295 296 The equivalent SQL query with the rewrite tokens would have been: 297 {{{ 298 SELECT p.value AS __color__, 299 owner AS __group__, 300 id AS ticket, summary, component, milestone, t.type AS type, severity, time AS created, 301 changetime AS _changetime, description AS _description, 302 reporter AS _reporter 303 FROM ticket t,enum p 304 WHERE status = 'assigned' 305 AND p.name=t.priority AND p.type='priority' 306 ORDER BY __group__, @SORT_COLUMN@, p.value, severity, time 307 @LIMIT_OFFSET@ 308 }}} 309 310 If you want to always sort first by priority and only then by the user selected sort column, simply use the following `ORDER BY` clause: 311 {{{ 312 ORDER BY __group__, p.value, @SORT_COLUMN@, severity, time 313 }}} 251 314 252 315 ----
