Create Expression to filter Rows and Columns of SQL Query

Ignition

Hey, I have a simple question regarding transforming a query. I have this SQL query shown below with 4 columns; tag, status, datetime, and minutes.

I want to run an expression on it so I can pick out a specific cell based on the tag and status. I know I can pick out a specific cell with {value}[0,1], but I’d like to search for minutes IF tag=“position 10 status” AND status=“Running”

Thank you for the help!

There’s a module called SimulationAids that you can use to filter datasets with “pseudo-sql”. I recently started using it and its very easy. I don’t think there’s any built in way to do it via expressions. You’d either need to add WHERE clause parameters to your query that you modify, use python/jython to filter though that can get messy and would I would guess would be slower than the module, or you can use the free module.

Awesome! I’ll try this out!

This script transform might work for you. Try it in the script console.

d = [
  {"tag": "position 10 status", "status": "paused", "minutes": 2.27},
  {"tag": "position 10 status", "status": "Running", "minutes": 121.59},
  {"tag": "position 100 status", "status": "paused", "minutes": 0.06},
  {"tag": "position 100 status", "status": "Running", "minutes": 0.98},
  {"tag": "position 120 status", "status": "paused", "minutes": 122.93},
  {"tag": "position 120 status", "status": "Running", "minutes": 0.93},
  {"tag": "position 130 status", "status": "paused", "minutes": 1.23},
  {"tag": "position 130 status", "status": "Running", "minutes": 2.34},
  {"tag": "position 140 status", "status": "paused", "minutes": 3.45},
  {"tag": "position 140 status", "status": "Running", "minutes": 4.56}
]

filter(lambda row: 	row['tag'] == 'position 10 status' and row['status'] == 'Running', 	d)[0]['minutes']

For your binding transform you would use something like this:

# value is returned by the binding.
return filter(lambda row: 	row['tag'] == 'position 10 status' 
                     and row['status'] == 'Running', value)[0]['minutes']

I’m no Python guru. I got the technique on Python list of dictionaries search - Stack Overflow and there are a few other suggestions. Remember that Ignition is using Jython 2.7 so restrict your research to Python 2.7 solutions.

I was able to resolve this by making parameters in my Named Query. By making parameters I was able to filter the query by sensor and status to get a single cell.
