Hello,
Is it possible to use InDB with Interface.
Hi @rohit782192 -
It is possible to create an analytic app with in-database tools. See below for a basic example workflow that allows the end-user to dynamically update the in-db filter tool with a drop-down.
@taylor_butler- I do not believe this is always the case. I believe you can use an interface tool with a connect-in-db tool - and can edit a query there. You can also use an interface tool with Datastream-In (I do all the time).
I do not believe an interface tool will correctly work with Formula In-DB/Summarize In-DB or Filter In-DB. This may be DB specific but when I experimented with it - I found that this did not work.
In-DB tools do not process data per se - they generate SQL which is fed to the server. I believe that unless you are dealing with a join/union - the formula or summarize are basically executed at the same time as the initial query - the interface tool cannot update what has already been sent to the DB so it will not work.
