How to use a postgreSQL crosstab query in Jasper Reports? - sql

Question

I'm trying to make a report in Jasper Reports using a PostgreSQL crosstab query with parameters.
Crosstab query is working when I execute it in pgAdmin 4 with static values. When I copy it into Query dialog in the report builder, and add report parameters, it doesn't work.
Versions:
PostgreSQL server 12
TIBCO Jaspersoft® Studio 6.6.0
Here's the code:
Crosstab query working in pgAdmin 4:
select
cedula,
apellidos,
nombres,
aporteIndividual,
aporteAdicional,
aporteAdicional5,
aporteSeguro,
aporteIndividual::numeric + aporteAdicional::numeric +
aporteAdicional5::numeric + aporteSeguro::numeric as total
from (
SELECT * FROM crosstab
(
'select
p.id,
a.id,
COALESCE (p.primer_apellido, '''') || '' '' ||
COALESCE (p.segundo_apellido, '''') as apellidos,
COALESCE (p.primer_nombre, '''') || '' '' ||
COALESCE (p.segundo_nombre, '''') as nombres,
p.numero_documento,
ad.tipo_aporte,
ad.valor
from
sch_participantes.participante as p,
sch_participantes.aportes as a,
sch_participantes.aporte_detalles as ad
where
p.id = a.id_participe
and a.id = ad.id_aporte
and p.filial = 1084
and p.estado = 1
and a.mes = 1
and a.anio = 2020
order by p.primer_apellido',
'select id from sch_participantes.tipo_aporte ta
order by ta.id'
)
AS
(
id_participe integer,
id_aporte integer,
apellidos text,
nombres text,
cedula text,
aporteIndividual text,
aporteAdicional text,
aporteAdicional5 text,
aporteSeguro text
)
union all
select
p.id,
null,
COALESCE (p.primer_apellido, '') || ' ' ||
COALESCE (p.segundo_apellido, '') as apellidos,
COALESCE (p.primer_nombre, '') || ' ' ||
COALESCE (p.segundo_nombre, '') as nombres,
p.numero_documento,
null,
null,
null,
null
from
sch_participantes.participante as p
where
p.id not in
(
select
a.id_participe
from
sch_participantes.aportes as a
where
a.mes = 1
and a.anio = 2020
)
and p.filial = 1084
and p.estado = 1
) as todo
order by todo.apellidos
and report code:

For testing purposes, I replaced the SQL query with a fixed crosstab inner query like this:
<queryString language="SQL">

and the report preview executed well.
Any advice is truly appreciated.

Answer 1

JasperReports translates $P{..} in report queries to JDBC prepared statement parameters. That is, if you have WHERE column = $P{..} in the report query, the report will run WHERE column = ? as a prepared statement with the report parameter value sent as statement parameter.
Prepared statement parameters stand for single values in the query, so crosstab($P{..}) will not work, even if the parameter values contains a comma. What might work is crosstab($P{first_query}, $P{second_query}), just note that prepared statement parameters are provided as raw values so you should not enclose the values in quotes or escape quotes inside the values.
But if you just want to textually insert the parameter value in the query, you can use $P!{..} instead of $P{..}. Since the parameter value in your report looks like a query fragment, using SELECT * FROM crosstab ($P!{crosstab_query}) in the report query should work.
