Example
Let's suppose in our examples `TextField` is a custom field text already configured for the current Jira server instance and `TestDB` represents the database resource name configured in the server context. For more details see SQL data sources.
Example 1
TextField=databaseAvailable("TestDB"); //will set `TextField` value to `true`
Example 2
TextField=databaseAvailable("TestDB", "select pname from project"); //will set `TextField` value to `true` if the SQL passed in can be executed
Example 3
TextField=databaseAvailable("TestDB", "select pname from inexistentTableName");//will set `TextField` value to `false`, because the SQL passed in cannot be executed
Example 4
TextField=databaseAvailable("InexistentTestDB", "select pname from project");//will set `TextField` value to `false`, because the database resource does not exist
Notes
To configure the data source check the SQL data sources configuration chapter.
