Data type with 2 data fields both number

Need help Database
1

Hi All, I am quite stuck and I don´t know why.

A plain and simple thing:

I have a Data Type (Produkt ) with 2 data fields (inventory & minimum inventory) both are written in the database.
Now I want to show the number of products where the “inventory” < “minimum inventory”
So I tried it like this: Do a search for Products :count and in the constrain I tried the following; inventory < Parent Group product’s minimum inventory but I get always 0
please advise how to get only the number of products with inventory < minimum inventory.

thanks in advanced

Hi there,

Instead of ‘Parent Group’ you’ll instead want to refer to the same thing that you’re referring to for the inventory value, like this:

Thing's Inventory < Thing's Minimum Inventory

Now I want to show the number of products where the “inventory” < “minimum inventory

It’s not possible to do this this kind of simple database query in Bubble…

The simplest workaround is to add an additional yes/no field on the Product datatype, and set that via a database trigger whenever the Inventory goes below the Minimum Inventory, and then use that field in the search constraint.

Alternatively, if you only have a handful of Products, and don’t need to worry about scalability, you can do it client-side using an advanced filter.

You’re right, I should have checked before posting!
