titleSimple Example - Without Parameters
# This example will run a Named Query without any parameters in the Project scope.
# The second argument in the function is NOT optional, so named queries that do not require a parameter must still pass an empty dictionary as an argument.

# Request the Named Query with an empty dictionary as the second parameter. 
system.db.runNamedQuery("folderName/myNamedQuery", {})
Code Block
languagepy
titleGateway Scope Example
# This example will run a Named Query without any parameters in the Gateway scope.
# The last argument in the function is NOT optional, so named queries that do not require a parameter must still pass an empty dictionary as an argument.

# Request the Named Query to execute. 
system.db.runNamedQuery("ProjectName", "folderName/myNamedQuery", {})
Code Block
languagepy
titleSimple Example - With Parameters
# This example will run a Named Query while passing some parameters in the Project scope.
# The Named Query is assumed to have two parameters already defined on the Named Query:
# param1 : A string
# param2 : An integer

# Create a python dictionary of parameters to pass
paramsparameters = {"param1":"my string", "param2":10}
 
# Run the Named Query
system.db.runNamedQuery("myUpdateQuery", paramsparameters)
