It allows user to write a custom SQL request. (Generally, admin users) Once written, a new model is generated, and user can map the selected field with odoo fields. Then user ends the process, creating new menu, action and graph view. Technically, the module create SQL View (or materialized view, if option is checked). Materialized view duplicates datas, but request are fastest. If materialized view is enabled, this module will create a cron task to refresh the data). By default, users member of 'SQL Request / User' can see all the views. You can specify extra groups that have the right to access to a specific view. Warning ------- This module is intended for technician people in a company and for Odoo integrators. It requires the user to know SQL syntax and Odoo models. If you don't have such skills, do not try to use this module specially on a production environment. Use Cases --------- this module is interesting for the following use cases - You want to realize technical SQL requests, that Odoo framework doesn't allow (For exemple, UNION with many SELECT) A typical use case is if you want to have Sale Orders and PoS Orders datas in a same table - You want to customize an Odoo report, removing some useless fields and adding some custom ones. In that case, you can simply select the fields of the original report (sale.report model for exemple), and add your custom fields - You have a lot of data, and classical SQL Views have very bad performance. In that case, MATERIALIZED VIEW will be a good solution to reduce display duration **Table of contents** .. contents:: :local: Configuration ============= - Go to Dashboard / Configuration / SQL Views - tip your SQL request |image1| - Select the group(s) that could have access to the view |image2| Optionnaly, you can add a domain. A tipical domain in a multi company context is to write ``['|', ('company_id', '=', False), ('company_id', 'in', company_ids)]`` to make reporting depending on the current companies of the user. - Click on the button 'Validate SQL Expression' - Once the sql request checked, the module analyses the column of the view, and propose field mapping. For each field, you can decide to create an index and set if it will be displayed on the pivot graph as a column, a row or a measure. |image3| - Click on the button 'Create SQL elements'. (this step could take a while, if view is materialized) - If it's a MATERIALIZED view: - a cron task is created to refresh the view. You can so define the frequency of the refresh. - the size of view (and the indexes is displayed) |image4| - Before applying the final step, you will need to add a specific Parent Menu to use when creating the UI Menu for the report. By default, it will be set with the ``SQL Views`` menu, which can be changed before creating the UI elements in order to have the report accessible from a different place within Odoo. - Finally, click on 'Create UI', to create new menu, action, graph view and search view. .. |image1| image:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/reporting-engine/17.0/bi_sql_editor/static/description/01_sql_request.png .. |image2| image:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/reporting-engine/17.0/bi_sql_editor/static/description/02_security_access.png .. |image3| image:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/reporting-engine/17.0/bi_sql_editor/static/description/03_field_mapping.png .. |image4| image:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/reporting-engine/17.0/bi_sql_editor/static/description/04_materialized_view_setting.png Usage ===== To use this module, you need to: 1.
