A good reason to not run your application as root/admin... I had a system once were I didn't have admin access on the app server but the AR System ran as root. I built a form where I could enter an OS command in a text field and Remedy would issue the command to the OS in a Run Process. Worked great for things like sending a chown command on log files that I couldn't view because they were created by root.
The same could hold true if your ARSystem db user is a sysadmin. Be careful that the SELECT COUNT(*) doesn't turn into DROP DATABASE ARSystem. :-) Jason On Thu, Apr 26, 2012 at 7:07 AM, Joe Martin D'Souza <[email protected]>wrote: > You do not require the ARAdmin password to run a direct SQL on your > application.. > > Customize your app wherein, you run a direct SQL in a set field operation > to set a field with $1$ of the SQL statement ==> > > select count(*) from <view name> > > Do not use the terminating ; character on your direct SQL as the AR System > engine takes care of that.. > > Use that statement in a set field action and set a temp field to return > your count to..
