Lazreport print sql parameters
« on: July 08, 2022, 01:11:48 am »
Greetings.
I'm sure this is possible, but I've spent the last couple of days looking, unsuccessfully, for an answer.

In the old Delphi Qreport, I used the "QUERYPARAM" evaluation function to print out the user submitted values for runtime SQL parameters(eg from_date).

How do I do this in LazReport ?

Apologies if this is covered somewhere, but I just could not find it ~ probably wrong keywords, or similar.

Thanks for the reply! 
I've already seen these tutorials. What I'm after is setting the variable to the run-time entered parameter value. For example Postgresql SQL:
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE TABLE.DATEFIELD > :From_Date ;
This already causes the report to prompt for a valid date, stores it in the dataset's "From_Date" parameter, and also selects rows as required.
I'm simply trying to "print" (or set variable to) the entered value for that param.
Do I need to actually use pascal code in a beforeprint, or whatever, to extract the tdataset.params values into a variable that can be used to print?
This is what the standard function QUERYPARAM("dataset_name","param_name") {from memory} returned. It was quite simple and very useful.
Thanks again for any assistance.

AFAIK there is no 'queryparam' function in LazReport.

You could also do it like this:
Code: MySQL  [Select][+][-]
  1. SELECT field1, field2, ..., fieldN, :From_Date as From_Date FROM TABLE WHERE TABLE.DATEFIELD > :From_Date;

You can now use 'From_Date' as any other DB field in your report.

Just a quick reply:
Doesn't allow me to do that in Postgresql ... still playing and checking for other alternatives.

Thanks

Maybe this will help you

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. begin
  2.   VDateStr:=FORMATDATETIME('yyyy-mm-dd', [lrDateEdit1.Date]);
  3.   lrSQLQuery1.Active:=False;
  4.   lrSQLQuery1.SQL:='Select F1.AFiled From';
  5.   lrSQLQuery1.SQL:=lrSQLQuery1.SQL+'(Select '''+VDateStr+'''::"timestamp" as AFiled)F1';
  6.   lrSQLQuery1.SQL:=lrSQLQuery1.SQL+'where F1.AFiled='''+VDateStr+'''';
  7.  
  8.   MESSAGEBOX([lrSQLQuery1.SQL], '提示', 0);
  9.  
  10. end;
  11.

What do you mean by that? Who doesn't allow you? Do you get an error somewhere?

I just tried with ZEOSdbo components and with built-in SQLdb components and it works just fine. I can attach test project if you need it.

Here is code I used in test (table name is 'proba', column names are 'a' and 'b'):
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. procedure TForm1.btnPosgreSQL_SQLdbClick(Sender: TObject);
  2. begin
  3.   //PQConnection1.Connected := True;
  4.   qSQLdb.Close;
  5.   qSQLdb.SQL.Text := 'select a, b, :filter as afilter '+
  6.                      'from proba '+
  7.                     'where a >= :filter';
  8.   qSQLdb.ParamByName('filter').AsInteger := StrToInt(edFilter.Text);
  9.   qSQLdb.Open;
  10. end;
