Re: Can we select a date range through the Web API
Hi Randy,
It is also possible to created database functions now as well. It is not
totally obvious from the documentation, but you can check out this repo
<https://github.com/dhis2/datim-dedupe/tree/master/sql/app> for an example
of how you can create database functions and then call them from the API.
This works similar to SQL views, but will allow you much greater control
over what actually happens, which may be difficult or impossible with a
normal SQL view.
Regards,
Jason
