SOLVED Link SQL dropdown with other table?

[Thomas D]

Is there a built in SQL Feature for this or do we need to use an API function?

Example:

• I have 1 table with items, 1 column have name.
• Another table have multi-dropdown ["name1","name2"]

It would be convenient if we could populate the multi-dropdown with values from the other table (Value picker), is that possible?

Hey @thomasd, if you are talking about the Database Editor, yes you can configure your field to be a "Linked Fields by values" on and point to the other table / col, you will then have a tag input where you can select one or multiples values from the other table in your field

Thank you, I'll try that.

Do you have any tips on how to split sql results into multiple pages?

[Joseph Benguira]

@thomasd if it's a Visual Select function you can use AD_PageNbr & AD_PageSize parameters to control how many rows are returned per page and what is the current page number

var settings = {
    "url": "https://xxxxxxxxxx.appdrag.site/api/test",
    "data": {
        "AD_PageNbr" : "1",
        "AD_PageSize" : "500"
    },
    "method": "POST",
    "async": true,
    "crossDomain": true,
    "processData": true
};
$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
    console.log(response); // TODO: Do something with the result
});

if you use other kind of cloud functions you have to implement the offset yourself

Thanks, I was using the visual select and was hoping this was implemented. Is it in the documentation? I couldn't find anything.

@thomasd it's displayed in the auto generated API function documentation (when you are editing a cloud function, click on Documentation on the right side)
