Using different SQL queries as data source

Specify a different SQL query as a database data source.

  1. Add an INITIALIZE DATA SOURCE command to your rule procedure in the appropriate location.
  2. In the Comment field, enter any comments you want to include for the command you are defining.
    Note: Comments are only written to the rule procedure; use this field to describe or explain the purpose of the command you are defining.
  3. In the Data Source field drop-down list, select the Database data source variable you want to initialize.
  4. In the SQL field, enter the SQL query text.
    Note:
    • The SQL text must be a Java string expression enclosed in double-quotes (").
    • You can edit the string expression using the dynamic content available in any string expression in Rule Procedure.
    • The SQL must be composed exactly as the Database Management System requires-e.g., text literals and dates must be enclosed in double-quotes.
