How To Query A Database
Rebbeca Schulke
Gets a list of Pages and/or Databases contained in the database, filtered and ordered according to the filter conditions and sort criteria provided in the request. The response may contain fewer than page_size of results. If the response includes a next_cursor value, refer to the pagination reference for details about how to use a cursor to iterate through the list.
Filters are similar to the filters provided in the Notion UI where the set of filters and filter groups chained by "And" in the UI is equivalent to having each filter in the array of the compound "and" filter. Similar a set of filters chained by "Or" in the UI would be represented as filters in the array of the "or" compound filter.
Filters operate on database properties and can be combined. If no filter is provided, all the pages in the database will be returned with pagination.
Sorts are similar to the sorts provided in the Notion UI. Sorts operate on database properties or page timestamps and can be combined. The order of the sorts in the request matter, with earlier sorts taking precedence over later ones.
Before an integration can query a database, the database must be shared with the integration. Attempting to query a database that has not been shared will return an HTTP response with a 404 status code.
This endpoint requires an integration to have read content capabilities. Attempting to call this API without read content capabilities will return an HTTP response with a 403 status code. For more information on integration capabilities, see the capabilities guide.

Once you execute the query, your database engine will retrieve information from the database table (or a combination of tables) and transform it into a human-readable format like a table, graph, or pictorial. You can then examine the data from your database to gain insights into activities and trends.
Using database queries will filter data into a single table for more straightforward analysis. Database queries can also help quickly aggregate data and read, update, create, and delete items in your database. You can also use a database query to find or summarize specific information quickly. You can also use more advanced queries for counting, performing calculations, and automating various data management tasks like reviewing current data.
On the other hand, optimizing every query can be a waste of time and energy, so you must be selective when deciding which ones to tune. To determine if a query needs to be optimized, look at its execution plan, duration, CPU time, and logical and physical reads. You can also compare these to historical data or established baselines.
DBAs rely on various database query languages to help optimize their systems and ensure the information stored within databases is accessible yet secure; however, Structured Query Language (SQL) is the most popular database query language.

Have you considered replicating your data to a SQL database. It might not give you all the capabilities you are hoping to achieve but it could be an alternative option that offers some of the functionality?
I have been able to transfer 1,000+ records reliably in under 10 seconds (without any recurring workflows) to an external database and dynamically generate the table schema from the Bubble Data Types.
All of the plugins/solutions above are using techniques which involve running Bubble built-in data/functions (although not publicly documented) to help accomplish some or all of the task. Which in the case of the last plugin is useful for the purposes of this post as it generates the scripts needed to create the database schema in SQL. That is to say, before we can move data into an external database we need to have tables already created. The DBML plugin does just that for us.
Now that we have the Data Type created we can add the appropriate data. We will do that using a series of database triggers. NOTE: Database triggers can eat up your application capacity and lead to performance issues. This setup may not be appropriate for every app scenario. However, the methodology will still apply even if you used a scheduled workflow at a later point in time to add data to the TrackChanges table.
I'm attempting to use the "Query Database" smart service to connect to an external database and I'm running into some issues. I've successfully connected to the external database and my select statement is a simple SELECT _____ FROM ______ but for some reason the query is only returning 1000 records even though I know the table I am querying has 603,000 records available.
Within a JMP script I really need to query both a saved JMP table and a seperate database table, but cannot work out how or find a solution online. There is a simplified example code below. The issue is once I have connected to the db I can no longer Query local tables. I know I could do a table join in JMP after the SQL Query on the external db, but the goal is to only pull customers specified in the customers.jmp table in the query to reduce how much data it needs to query. I have tried things such as JOIN 'cust', JOIN 'Customers' etc.
What I think you might need to do is read in the CustomerID values using GetValues (like in line one below) from the JMP table and then insert that list into the SQL code (using IN operatori for the WHERE clause)..
You would have to use a little JSL to insert the list into the SQL code, but at least this would get you only the infromation from the customers that have an ID in the Customer.JMP file. Then you can use Join within JMP to merge the two sets together.
I would like to make a quick update to just one database column and trying to use the Write to Database smart service, I am required to populate all the other fields. Because I do not need to start getting all the other fields just so I can update on field, I am trying to use the Query Database smart service instead.
Hi Susana,
Don't create manually new Input under Data tab, When you add ac!variable_name in your query under setup tab -> Database Query, Appian automatically create input variable and you need to pass input value in it only.
In a database context, a query is a request for information or data made by a user and written in a specific format. The format is determined by the query language supported by that database, such as Structured Query Language. Like other query languages, SQL provides pre-defined standardized code that contains the instructions that a database can understand to generate appropriate results in response to a user's query.
