Creating SQL queries to craft bespoke data sources

Developers can tap into the power of SQL queries to craft bespoke data sources, providing precise access to Moodle’s extensive database.
In the initial phase of data source creation, developers can define a unique name and ID number for the data source, as well as select a primary table from the available options. This primary table serves as the foundation for the data source.
Within the Join Tables section, developers can establish intricate relationships between multiple tables, enriching the data source with diverse datasets to meet specific project requirements.
In the Fields Setup section, developers configure the selection of fields for the data source, ensuring the inclusion of relevant information. The “Additional Format Value” option allows developers to embed custom static content within the field transform format.
By leveraging these options effectively, developers can tailor the selection and presentation of fields within their data source to meet specific formatting requirements and user preferences.
The Conditions Setup section enables developers to define conditions for the data source, facilitating the extraction of specific data subsets based on predefined criteria.
Once created, datasources are listed in the datasources section of the Block Dash configuration. Configuring a datasource within the Dash block involves setting up the block to fetch data from the created datasource.
