Question

I’m trying out the new Google App Scripts Data Base and I’m having trouble figuring out a particular type of query.

What is the best way to find if employee 434 has a qualification named “QUAL 1” that was issued after 20050101? I’ve included his record below.

{
        "id": 434,
        "qualifications": [
            {
                "pathway": "A",
                "name": "QUAL1",
                "issueDate": 20060330,
                "agencyName": "STATE OFFICE 1"
            },
            {
                "pathway": "B",
                "name": "QUAL2",
                "issueDate": 20090305,
                "agencyName": "STATE OFFICE 2"
            }
        ],
        "name": {
            "last": "SMITH",
            "first": "JOHN"
        },
        "type": "hr"
    }

Answer 1

I hope I’ve understood correctly:

function test() {  
  var db = ScriptDb.getMyDb();
  var result = db.query({id: 434})
  var quals = result.next().qualifications;
  var hasQual = false;
  for (var i = 0; i < quals.length; i++) {
    if (quals[i].name == 'QUAL1' && quals[i].issueDate > 20050101) {
      hasQual = true;
      break;
    }
  }
  Logger.log(hasQual);
}
