This module provides an abstract model to manage SQL Select requests on database. It is not usefull for itself. You can see an exemple of implementation in the “sql_export” module. (same repository).
Implemented features
- Add some restrictions in the sql request:
- you can only read datas. No update, deletion or creation are possible.
- some tables are not allowed, because they could contains clear password or keys. For the time being (“ir_config_parameter”).
- The request can be in a “draft” or a “SQL Valid” status. To be valid, the request has to be cleaned, checked and tested. All of this operations can be disabled in the inherited modules.
- This module two new groups:
- SQL Request / User : Can see all the sql requests by default and execute them, if they are valid.
- SQL Request / Manager : has full access on sql requests.
- The request can be run against an external database (only read queries for now) It may be usefull to avoid overloading the production server for example.

Configuration
To configure the use of an external database, you need to edit the main configuration file of your instance and add the external database configuration with following keys : * external_db_user * external_db_password * external_db_name * external_db_host * external_db_port
Usage
Inherit the model:
from odoo import models
- class MyModel(models.model)
_name = “my.model” _inherit = [“sql.request.mixin”]
_sql_request_groups_relation = “my_model_groups_rel”
_sql_request_users_relation = “my_model_users_rel”
Known issues / Roadmap
- Move modules sql_request_abstract and sql_export to oca/reporting-engine for version 15
