Table Specific Information

Select

By default, SupportEnhancedSQL is set to true, and the following will be honored if present. Other filters will be executed client side. If SupportEnhancedSQL is set to false, only the following filters will be honored.

QuickBooks Desktop allows only a small subset of columns to be used in the WHERE clause of a SELECT query. These columns can typically be used with only the equals or = comparison. The available columns for Accounts are Id, Name, Type, IsActive, and TimeModified. TimeModified may be used with the >, >=, <, <=, or = conditions and may be used twice to specify a range. Name may be used with the = or LIKE conditions to establish a starts-with, ends-with, or contains syntax. For example:

SELECT * FROM Accounts WHERE Name LIKE '%Bank%' AND TimeModified > '1/1/2011' AND TimeModified < '2/1/2011'

Insert
