Loading Table with as default date and Searching table with a datepicker form.

[althaf004]

Hi I have a table with date as a column. My requirement is,

1. When the page is initially loaded, the select query to the table has to send with a default date like today. and display results based on that query.
2. I will have a datepicker to the top of the page, where if i needed to run the query for a different date the table has to be filled with the data of that particular date.

Is it possible to achieve this with SQLPage. I tried to check with couple of examples, but couldn't find with this requirement.

Thanks
Althaf

will this load the data from the db based on the date selected ? because in initial load for the todays date, even though there is value, it didn't get populated.

Yes, look at the code!

SELECT 'list' AS component, 'Events' AS title;
SELECT event_datetime AS title,
    event_description as description,
    'calendar' as icon
FROM events
  WHERE event_datetime BETWEEN $Date AND date($Date, '+1 day');

The code is for SQLite, you'll need to adapt the syntax if you're using a different database.

yes i`m using postgresql.

You'll have to use postgres date and time functions, then.
