Info
Table Transformer is powered by the AlaSQL library. Find the list of SQL functions available in the macro below.

Custom SQL query editor powered by AI

Use autocompletion for correct reference to column names and SQL functions:

Start typing, for example, "T1." and choose the required column from the list. It helps to avoid typos
Start typing any function name and pick what you need from the dropdown list of supported functions/keywords

Handy Carousel

The AI also enhances the SQL query editor and suggests variants of the possible queries while you are typing. The options change on the fly according to what you have already typed.

If the suggestion suits you, press Tab on your keyboard and the query will be inserted in the editor.

And if you use the Ctrl+F shortcut, the "Find and Replace" panel will be opened. It's handy when you copy/paste your queries and need to change only some parts.

General SQL syntax

Syntax type

Definition

Character(s)

Example

Table name

A title given to (a) table(s) placed inside Table Transformer in the order of placement

T* - for all the tables in the macro body,
T1 - for the first table,
T2 - for the second one,
etc.

SELECT 'Column' FROM T*

SELECT 'Column name' FROM T1

SELECT 'Column Name' FROM T2

Column name

The title of a column from the source table utilized in the SQL query

Can be paired with Table name as a direct reference for a number of purposes: e.g. if column names in T1 and T2 match

' ' - Single quotes,

[ ] - Square brackets

'Column name'

[Column name]

T1.'Same Column name'

T2.'Same Column name'

Info
If a column name contains a s ingle quote as its part: e.g. D'column, type \ before it to avoid the single quote becoming syntax markup: e.g. 'D\'column', [D\'column] or T1.'D\'column' - in the SQL query

String constant

Encloses some text between double quotes further utilized in the SQL query

" " - Double quotes

"Some constant"

"Free text"

Number constant

Encloses a number further utilized in the SQL query

No additional markup

2077

Date constant

Encloses a date between double quotes further utilized in the SQL query

" " - Double quotes

"25.05.2022"

Multi-line comments

The text included directly in the SQL query as clarification, new info, etc., but not displayed in the macro output

/* */ - Slash + Asterisk

/* Such comment is present directly in the SQL query but not included in the output */

Code Block
'Column with dates'::Date→toDateString()

Find an example here.

After converting to string you can use JavaScript string functions, for example:

Code Block
'Column with strings'::string->split("The delimiter")->0 'Column with strings'::string→length

After converting to number you can use JavaScript number functions, for example:

Code Block
'Column with numbers'::number→toFixed(1)

You need to convert only values with a different or indefinite type. In other cases, it's is not necessary:

Code Block
'Column with numbers'->toFixed(1)
