hello,
I would like to write some scripts which do some more complex SQL extraction
requests using for example $xwiki.search(sql)... no modif of the DB, just
extraction for presentation... I would prefer not to be forced to code a new
Java module just for this...
But this function is protected by programming rights...
So I must give programming rights to allow people to view this page... I
find a bit disturbing because programming rights have a "sensitive" meaning
in my head...
What's your point of view about this? What's the lightest, cleverest and
fairest way to allow this? Any advice? :)
You could rewrite your query... I usually select the documents that
contain the data I'm interested in (using searchDocuments), and then
display the data from those documents. It is slower, indeed, but I don't
need programming rights.
If too much data is involved, and performance is important, then I use
programming rights.
