Using SQL Code activity

Avatar

Level 4

Hi,
How I can use the output of SQL Code activity in a following JS activity?

I'm typing below code in SQL activity:
SELECT max(iId) FROM CusTestDataSchema

 

What should I type in JS to receive SQL's output? vars.output doesn't work here.

 

Thanks,

Marcin

Hello @marcinkacz ,

 

Instead of writing a SQL code and then use the output in javascript code, The right approach would be to use queryDef javascript function in javascript code activity and pull the data.

 

Here are the links for some documentations on how to use the queryDef function in javascript:

Hi,

 

Use queryDef where possible, otherwise use a js activity with sqlGet* or the DBEngine class.

 

E.g.:

var cnx = application.getConnection();
try {
  var res = cnx.query('select sysdate from dual');
  for each (var row in res) logInfo(row[0]);
}
finally {
  cnx.dispose();
}

 

Thanks,

As always thank you for your help. But I'm not asking how to use query. I'm interested in SQL Code activity and its output.
