Create an issue

Creates a single issue in a project. Supply at least ProjectKey, IssueTypeName, Summary, and optionally Description and other columns. Use WITH (Output=1) to return the created issue.

Standard SQL query example

This is the base query accepted by the connector. To execute it in SQL Server, you have to pass it to the Data Gateway via a Linked Server. See how to accomplish this using the examples below.

INSERT INTO Issues(ProjectKey, IssueTypeName, Summary, Description)
VALUES('SMP', 'Task', 'My ticket inserted through the API', 'A description about an issue')
WITH (Output=1)

Using OPENQUERY in SQL Server

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([LS_TO_JIRA_IN_GATEWAY], 'INSERT INTO Issues(ProjectKey, IssueTypeName, Summary, Description)
VALUES(''SMP'', ''Task'', ''My ticket inserted through the API'', ''A description about an issue'')
WITH (Output=1)')

Using EXEC in SQL Server (handling larger SQL text)

The major drawback of OPENQUERY is its inability to incorporate variables within SQL statements. This often leads to the use of cumbersome dynamic SQL (with numerous ticks and escape characters).

Fortunately, starting with SQL 2005 and onwards, you can utilize the EXEC (your_sql) AT [LS_TO_JIRA_IN_GATEWAY] syntax.

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'INSERT INTO Issues(ProjectKey, IssueTypeName, Summary, Description)
VALUES(''SMP'', ''Task'', ''My ticket inserted through the API'', ''A description about an issue'')
WITH (Output=1)'
EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_JIRA_IN_GATEWAY]
