Is there a way to save something to the database inside the extension

JShum — Fri, 16 Feb 2024 19:06:54 GMT

I would love to be able to create a simple extension where I could save a date and a value to the database with an extension with an input box and a button. Is that possible? I don't know how to execute the SQL inside the extension

@JShum Perhaps using this, Inphinity Forms - Qlik native writeback (data input) extension (myinphinity.com) or this Vizlib.

Hi,

In Qlik Sense, extensions run on the client side and are mainly used for visualization, so they cannot directly execute SQL queries or write data to a database.

To achieve this, a writeback approach is required, where user inputs are captured and stored in a backend database through a supported solution.

If your requirement is to capture user inputs (like date and values) from a dashboard and store them, solutions like SenseOps Writeback can be used, as they allow data entry within the app and save it to a backend database. Know More>>
