Sometimes it's necessary to run queries against the database to help solve a problem. Be sure to port-forward from a replica (read-only) database pod so that:

1. You don't accidentally change data
2. Your queries don't add CPU/memory load to the primary database pod that CHEFS uses

oc -n [NAMESPACE] port-forward svc/patroni-master-readonly 54321:5432

Some helpful queries are:

The form permissions for a user

When a user has a problem with a form, they often don't mention which form it is. The following query will tell you which forms that a user has access to. If the user only has one form, it saves asking them for the form name or id.

SELECT * FROM user_form_access_vw WHERE "userId" = '${USER_ID}';

The number of submissions for a form

Gets the number of non-draft and non-deleted submissions and groups them by version. This is useful when someone says they did an export but it was empty - there may be no submissions for the version they're exporting!

SELECT version, count(*) FROM form_submission JOIN form_version ON form_submission."formVersionId" = form_version.id
    WHERE form_version."formId" = '${formId}'
    AND form_submission.draft = false AND form_submission.deleted = false
    GROUP BY version ORDER BY version;
