Query Builder

Introduction

A Query builder is a tool or library that helps developers construct database queries in a more intuitive and structured way, often without requiring direct knowledge of the query language (like SQL).

It serves as an abstraction layer between the developer and the database.

G3 Query Builder

When creating a query, you can select the data source as G3, which is helpful when you intend to visualize the data as a graph.

The start_date feature facilitates specifying time ranges using natural language parsing in JavaScript.

start_date is a natural language date parser in Javascript. It can extract data from any provided text and handle the majority of date/time formats.

Normal SQL Query	G3 Query
fromcdr.cdrwheredt>= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 30 DAY)	start_date: 7 days ago

You can also put a default value of the start_date by making it a variable using Set Vars.

For example,

start_date: 7 days ago // G3 query

start_date: :start_date // making it a variable using Set Vars

You can put any value in the Vars field, it will be treated as a default value when you use the above code.
