Charlie Talk - JQL In A Nutshell

JQL JIRA Query Language Dylan Etkin, JIRA Technical Lead

A brief history... I have worked on JIRA for 4 years JQL is an advanced SQL-like query language for JIRA JQL starts as a founder plugin (3 days to create) Our customers have some of the worlds most interesting data, they just need to access it

The elusive issue Support wants to know if you know anything about weird problem X What do we know about the issue?

Its about the fields, baby JIRA fields are the left-hand- side value Many fields you have never been able to search before Relate your fields data using the power of boolean operators

Operators Good old equals Not equals Relational operators Operator ʻISʼ used for empty

Values As forgiving as we can be • Donʼt worry about case • Cross-project searching with values by name • Specify Idʼs when you really need to be speciﬁc

Functions,The Power! Tons of cool built in functions Completely pluggable Subqueries via a function

Autocomplete Because we are not evil Completes: • Field names you can see • Operators • Values (users, versions, components, etc...) • Logical operators

JQL Order By “Order By” is speciﬁed in the JQL query (ASC/DESC) “Order By” is integrated with the UI controls

Sexy APIʼs Zone out here if you are not a developer Query object is core of searching in JIRA Builder for programatic creation of JQL SearchService provides all searching needs in JIRA Custom searchers allow for JQL extensions

Summary JQL provides an advanced and ﬂexible way to ﬁnd your data JQL is easily extensible via functions and custom searchers JQL allows you to search data you could not search before Thanks to: Michael Tokar, Toby Rahilly, and Brenden Bain
