Source

You can check out SqlConstantsPlugin from here using Subversion, or browse the source with Trac.

Example

Simply install the plugin as normal, and add a table like this to the database:

	CREATE TABLE `constants` (
	  `constant` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
	  `stringval` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
	  `intval` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
	  `floatval` float DEFAULT NULL,
	  PRIMARY KEY (`constant`)
	);

You can then use this in report queries. The stringval column will always be stored. intval and floatval will contain the int/float equivalent if possible (i.e. the input could be cast to an int).

Visit the administration panel to update constants.
