Is the usage of SQL group by possible?
I would consider "group by" extremly useful since it would be possible to create statistics for database content really easily. --WolfgangFahl (talk) 12:11, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * 1) Is the usage of SQL "group by" possible?
 * 2) if yes how?
 * 3) if no as it was pointed out in Extension_talk:External_Data/Archive_2013 where would a CR be posted?


 * No, it's still not possible, though I can see how it would be useful. What's a CR? Yaron Koren (talk) 14:35, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

How to pass header value to request?
With some API we need to pass in the headers some value (for example: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/README.html#authentication) I tried url=--header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" https://myserver/api/v1/list/all or url=https://myserver/api/v1/list/all,array('PRIVATE-TOKEN'=>'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx') But not chance. How can we achieve this? if this is possible, can we have an example of how?


 * The #get_web_data function only works with RESTful APIs; #get_soap_data might work in this case. Yaron Koren (talk) 15:52, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
