SQL Block

The SQL Block enables users to write and execute Structured Query Language (SQL) directly within nodes, allowing data retrieval without relying on predefined data actions.

  • Users can execute SQL queries by establishing connections between nodes, streamlining the querying process and enhancing workflow efficiency.

  • The SQL Block supports basic SQL queries, enabling faster data retrieval with efficient querying capabilities.

SQL Block Configuration

Follow these steps to configure and execute SQL queries effectively:

1. Write Your SQL Query

The primary configuration box allows users to input custom SQL queries.

Input Options:

  • Manually Input Query – Users can directly type the SQL query in the input field.

  • Preview Available Columns – Users can view a list of columns from the source data, making it easier to select the correct fields.

2. Validate the Query

Before execution, users can validate the query using the Validate button.

  • This step ensures that the SQL query is syntactically correct and ready for execution.

  • Validation helps identify common syntax issues and potential errors in the query.

3. Execute the Query

Once validated, users can execute the query to retrieve data from the connected source.

  • The query results are displayed in the output section, based on the executed query.

  • This enables users to efficiently extract the necessary data into their workflow.
