If you run the code in the script console does it work?

Note: You will need to supply appropriate values as the script console will not have access to components.

That is because the script console doesn’t have access to the event object. You will need to provide appropriate hard coded values for the query.

I think you need to spend some more time getting familiar with SQL and Ignition software. Remember, there are tons of videos out there.
