Hi,

currently parameters in canned queries are just text fields. It would be cool to have one of the options below. Would you accept a PR doing something in this direction? (Possibly this could even work as a plugin.)

  • adding facets, which would work like facets on tables or views, giving a list of selectable options (and leaving parameters as is)
  • making it possible to provide a query which returns selectable values for a parameter, e.g. calendar_entries_current_instrument: sql: | select * from calendar_entries where DTEND_UNIX > UNIXEPOCH() and DTSTART_UNIX < UNIXEPOCH() + :days *24*60*60 and current = 1 and MACHINE = :instrument order by DTSTART_UNIX params: days: sql: "SELECT VALUE FROM generate_series(1, 30, 1)" # this obviously requires the corresponding sqlite extension instrument: sql: "SELECT DISTINCT MACHINE FROM calendar_entries"
  • making it possible to provide a fixed list of parameters calendar_entries_current_instrument: sql: | select * from calendar_entries where DTEND_UNIX > UNIXEPOCH() and DTSTART_UNIX < UNIXEPOCH() + :days *24*60*60 and current = 1 and MACHINE = :instrument order by DTSTART_UNIX params: days: values: [1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30] instrument: values: [supermachine, crappymachine, boringmachine]
