Trying to find a database table of a custom field
February 04, 2014, 04:41:41 am
Hi!

I´ve a custom data called "Language settings", and one of the custom fields is a multiselect field type. If I edit this field, I see this info:

LabelValue
0English
1Italian

I have an SQL query to obtain the labels, but I can´t find the Values which is what I need... The info should be in a table somewhere but I can´t find it :s

Some light here?

Thanks!!!

Custom field table naming pattern is civicrm_value_<custom_data_set_name_id>

Yes, I know, but in this case this table is giving me only the labels (0, 1, ... ), and I guess there should be somewhere a table with the pair label - value  :-\

Thanks for helping!

You already have the label-value pairs from  the Custom fields UI, and in your original post there are only two of these, so if this is a one-off requirement I would use CASE ... THEN (or similar) to give the actual values.

Otherwise:
  • In the correct civicrm_value_... table your field heading should be Language_settings_XX.
  • In the civicrm_custom_field table for id = XX  you will find option_group_id= YYY
  • Then find all rows with option_group_id= YYY in the civicrm_option_value table.

(There could be a simpler link that I have missed)
