Query Samples

CREATE TABLE WATERPARAMS(
   ID TEXT PRIMARY KEY     NOT NULL,
   DEVICE          TEXT    NOT NULL,
   NH3             INT     NOT NULL,
   NH4             INT     NOT NULL,
   O2              INT     NOT NULL
);

INSERT INTO WATERPARAMS(
        ID, 
        DEVICE, 
        NH3, 
        NH4, 
        O2
    )  
    VALUES (
        'UniqueId', 
        'MySensor', 
        233, 
        675, 
        7
    )

select * from WATERPARAMS;

{
    "records": [{
        "id": "UniqueId",
        "device": "MySensor",
        "nh3": 233,
        "nh4": 675,
        "o2": 7
    }]
}

Example Rules Integration

try{
    def targs = [:];
    
    targs['id'] = msg.id;
    targs['device'] = msg.deviceid;
    targs['nh3'] = msg.nh3;
    targs['nh4'] = msg.nh4;
    targs['o2'] = msg.o2;
    
    db.execute('DEV_DB', 'insert_wp', targs);

}catch(Exception ex){
    log.error(ex);
}

INSERT INTO WATERPARAMS( ID,  DEVICE,  NH3,  NH4, O2 )  
VALUES (
        '{{id}}', 
        '{{device}}', 
        {{nh3}}, 
        {{nh4}}, 
        {{o2}}
