SQL Query

When Datasource is set to "Default Datasource" or "Custom Datasource", this option will show up. You use an SQL Query to produce the dataset required for the graph type. The first column in the dataset will be assumed for the X-axis/label.

Example 1:The first column to be returned from the query must be a label (X-axis), followed by value columns for the Y-axis.
