Dynamic SQL - Field Name Changes

Hi 

I have a table that has values in different languages,  I wondered if there is a way to pass the field name for the 'current'  language as part of a custom sql statement,  I am able to use a parameter as a value in a where clause but I am struggling with it as a field name.  

 

I can use a calculated column to achieve the result but I was interested in not querying all the languages initially. 

 

Thank you

    Hi Stephen,

    Can you elaborate on the structure of your data?

    I would expect our support for translations in a model to be sufficient for what you're asking, are you familiar with this option?

        Thank you,  for example,  I have a product table with the product names in different languages,   so product_en,  product_fr,  product_de for example and I was looking to understand if I could have a query that just selected the appropriate language for the user?  

      I do have a case statement that is using the Application Culture to select the correct column, but was interested in if a SQL solution would work.

      This is exactly what translations do.

      Suppose your model default language is English, your Product column will be Product_En.

      Then you add a translation to French, and assign the Product_Fr as the translation column of Product_En.

      Then, when you create a discover, you can choose the model language and set it to the application language:

      And so each user will see the translation based on their application language in Pyramid Analytics.
