How can I create ActiveObjects for multi-join select on jira tables?

[chintu Parameshwar]

Hi,

I'm trying to write a plugin in which I want to create a report of issues with a big select statment with lot of joins with the jira(jiraissue, changehistory etc) tables.

Could you please let me know how to achieve this?

Thanks a million,

chintu

The simple answer is: you cannot.

Active Objects tables spaces are separated from the JIRA table space and you cannot query JIRA's table using AO at all, nor have references (fk etc.) from AO tables to JIRA tables.

This is by design.

I think at least I can write JDBC code in my plugin to access JIRA's tables right?

Because of the frustration on jira partial word search problem, we are trying to write a plugin to achieve our goals. The following are the related issues:

Please suggest me if there are any alternatives.

I guess, directly querying JIRA database tables in your plugin is not the right way to generate your report. You should be using the search service api's and do the remaining join in your code, AFAIK.
