NPD Metrics - how to extract from the database in a usable format

Question

Metrics for NPD activities and projects are stored in the database one row for each metric in each activity or project instance. If there are multiple metrics per activity instance, for example, extraction of those metrics yeilds only a list of metrics and values. I'd like to see it in more of a table style output. Can you provide some guidance on how to extract this from the DB using sql? Thx

Answer 1

Here is the SQL that should help understand the structure. There are a few ways to pull this data in more of a column based approach. This should help you get started.
select modml.baseName as MetricName, bases.name as Basis, ph.name as Phase,
fy.name as FiscalYear, gl.Value as Value, UOM.ID as UOM, currml.Name as Currency
from plmFieldExchangeGlobals gl
inner join plmFieldExchangeDefinitions fed on fed.pkid = gl.FieldExchangeDefinitionPKID
inner join plmFieldExchangeDefModels mod on mod.pkid = fed.fkFieldExchangeDefinitionModel
inner join plmFieldExchDefinitionModelML modml on modml.fkFieldExchangeDefinitionModel = mod.pkid and modml.langID = 0
inner join plmFieldExchangeBases bases on fed.fkFieldExchangeBasis = bases.pkid and bases.langID = 0
inner join plmFieldExchangePhases ph on fed.fkFieldExchangePhase = ph.pkid and ph.langID = 0
inner join plmFieldExchangeFiscalYears fy on fed.fkFieldExchangeFiscalYear = fy.pkid and fy.langID = 0
left outer join UOM on UOM.pkid = mod.fkCommonUOM
left outer join commonCurrenciesML currml on currml.fkCurrency = mod.fkCommonCurrency and currml.langID = 0
where ProjectPKID = '320219992047-072a-4698-a553-de5ec124ff9c';
