<script type="text/x-red" data-help-name="alasql">
    A Node-RED node to use <a href="https://github.com/agershun/alasql" target="_blank">AlaSQL</a> for fast SQL based in-memory data processing for BI and ERP applications.</p>
    <p>Especially useful when you have (many) different sources coming with data you want to join, filter and format with good'old SQL.</p>
    <ul>
    <li>
    <p>A node's <code>SQL</code> parameter must hold a valid SQL query</p>
    </li>
    <li>
    <p>The result will be returned in <code>msg.payload</code></p>
    </li>
    </ul>
    <p>The typical query string can look like:</p>
    <code>SELECT * FROM ? WHERE a > 10</code>
    <h4><a id="Returned_values_25"></a>Returned values</h4>
    <p>Typically the returned payload will be an array of objects:</p>
    <pre><code class="language-json">[{name:'foo', age: 86}, {name:'bar', age:64}]
    </code></pre>
    <p>To manipulate output format please consult the use of <a href="https://github.com/agershun/alasql/wiki/Value"><code>VALUE OF</code></a>, <a href="https://github.com/agershun/alasql/wiki/MATRIX"><code>MATRIX OF</code></a>, <a href="https://github.com/agershun/alasql/wiki/COLUMN"><code>COLUMN OF</code></a>, <a href="https://github.com/agershun/alasql/wiki/ROW"><code>ROW OF</code></a>, and <a href="https://github.com/agershun/alasql/wiki/RECORDSET"><code>RECORDSET OF</code></a>.</p>
    <h4><a id="Multiply_queries_36"></a>Multiply queries</h4>
    <p>The <code>msg.query</code> can hold several SQL queries separated by <code>;</code>. The returned value will be an array with the result from each typically returned payload.</p>
    <h4><a id="Binding_parameters_41"></a>Binding parameters</h4>
    <p>The <code>msg.payload</code> will be passed as a binded parameter. You can refer to the value by having <code>$0</code> in your SQL. If <code>msg.payload</code> is an array the first value will be <code>$0</code>, the second <code>$1</code> and so forth.</p>
    <p>Please <a href="https://github.com/agershun/alasql/wiki/readme">consult the AlaSQL wiki</a> to undertand the flexible nature of the library.</p>
    <h4><a id="Please_note_60"></a>Please note</h4>
    <p>The library works in-memory as default - so all data are lost when Node-RED is restarted. Please consult <a href="https://github.com/agershun/alasql/wiki">the wiki</a> to read more about how to let data be persistent.</p>
