Scenario
Estimated Time: 8 min
In this scenario, let's insert the SQL Macro on a Confluence page by inserting Markup from the menu. The SQL macro uses the SQL statement loaded into the body of the macro.
Background
This scenario uses a data source profile, BookWarehouse, to query a database table, PUBLISHERS. The table contains the following columns and rows:
SQL > select * from publishers; +----+------+-------------------+-----------------+---------+ | id | rank | parent_company | company_name | revenue | +----+------+-------------------+-----------------+---------+ | 10 | 1 | Pearson | Pearson | 5000.00 | | 11 | 2 | Reed | RELXGroup | 4900.00 | | 12 | 3 | WoodbridgeCompany | ThompsonReuters | 4700.00 | | 13 | 4 | BertelsmannAG-NV | Bertelsmann | 4500.00 | | 14 | 5 | WoltersKluwer | WoltersKluwer | 4100.00 | +----+------+-------------------+-----------------+---------+
For information about data source profiles, refer to:
- Data source profiles for 9.x versions
- Data source profiles for 8.x versions
The sample query against the PUBLISHERS table looks like:
SELECT rank as "Worldwide Ranking", company_name as "Company", format(revenue,0) as "M Revenue" FROM publishers ORDER BY rank asc;
