| 21 | You can check out SqlConstantsPlugin from [http://trac-hacks.org/svn/sqlconstantsplugin here] using Subversion, or [source:sqlconstantsplugin browse the source] with Trac. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | == Example == |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Simply install the plugin as normal, and add a table like this to the database: |
| 26 | |
| 27 | {{{ |
| 28 | CREATE TABLE `constants` ( |
| 29 | `constant` varchar(255) NOT NULL, |
| 30 | `stringval` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL, |
| 31 | `intval` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, |
| 32 | `floatval` float DEFAULT NULL, |
| 33 | PRIMARY KEY (`constant`) |
| 34 | ); |
| 35 | }}} |
| 36 | |
| 37 | 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). |
| 38 | |
| 39 | Visit the administration panel to update constants. |
