SQL Table in Wiki Page

Notice: This plugin is unmaintained and available for adoption.

Description

This is a simple macro that enables you to place tables resulting from SQL queries into a wiki page.

It is similar to, but simpler than, SqlQueryMacro. The main differences are that it has fewer dependencies and always queries the Trac database, rather than letting you set up a separate data connection.

Usage

Use the SQLTable macro:

    {{{
    #!SQLTable
        SELECT count(id) as 'Number of Tickets'
        FROM ticket
    }}}

The result will be a table.

Use the SQLScalar macro:

    {{{
    #!SQLScalar
        SELECT count(id) as 'Number of Tickets'
        FROM ticket
    }}}

The result will be a single number.

Installation

  1. Install globally with:
      sudo easy_install https://trac-hacks.org/svn/wikitablemacro/0.11/
    
  2. Enable the plugin by updating TracIni file (..../trac.ini) as follows:
      [components]
      wikitable.* = enabled
    
  3. Restart web server on command line:
        $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Known issues

  1. Issue: If incorrect SQL sentences are entered, auto preview (Trac 0.12) isn´t updated, neither any error message is shown until you submit / save your changes. When you save changes Trac will rise error message. You will not be able to edit that wiki page anymore.
    1. Workaround / Tip: You can still delete incorrect wiki entry by going into Timeline and locating diff link.

Some Patches

I added below to render_macro to provide a rudimentary sort of variable function.

    def render_macro(self, req, name, content):
+        c = content.split("|;|")
+        content = c[0]
+        if len(c) > 1 :
+                for i in c[1:] :
+                        v = i.split("=")
+                        if len(v) > 1 :
+                                k = v[0]
+                                v = v[1]
+                                content = content.replace(k,v)

i.e. you can do something like this

    {{{
    #!SQLTable
        SELECT "a", count($id) as 'Number of Tickets' 
        FROM ticket
        UNION
        SELECT "b", count($id) as 'Number of Tickets' 
        FROM ticket|;|$id=id
    }}}

Useful when you have the same id that you don't want to keep on retyping over.
