Info
titleTest the connection parameters

Click on the "Test Connection" button at the bottom of the page to quickly test out your configurations.

SQL SELECT Query 
SQL Select query to populate the datalist.


Code Block
languagesql
titleExample
SELECT * FROM app_fd_myTable
Note

If a column name contains a dot character " . ", do ensure it is encapsulated properly.

For example for MySQL, it should be encapsulated like this:

Code Block
languagesql
SELECT 'myAppName.myColumn' FROM tableName;
Info
titleTable & Column Naming
  • For database tables created by Joget Forms, Joget adds a "c_" in front of table column names (or "t_" if your column name starts with a number) and "app_fd_" in front of database table names.
  • If you use environment hash variables to store SQL query strings, use "?noescape" to escape SQL query strings in JDBC binders to prevent the "<>" "not equal" operator from being converted, i.e. disables XSS prevention checking. Read here for more information..
Primary Key 

Define the primary key column.

By default, it should be "id".

Optimize query for paging

When checked, the binder only fetches selected page's items rather than the returning the whole data set to optimize the performance for large dataset paging.

Only works for MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server 2012 onwards.
