Summary

This article details how to create a simple report (SQL Output) showing the following information for the entire Confluence instance:

Page Title
Author
Date Created
Last Changed by
Last Changed Date

This is meant to serve as a reference template for creating your own reports.

Environment

Confluence Server and Confluence Data Center.

Solution

The examples below are for a PostgreSQL database, but can be translated by your DBA to another DBMS type if needed.

Database Information

The Confluence DB Schema: Confluence Data Model

The CONTENT table contains the page information, and the USER_MAPPING table ties the user_key to the username referenced on the content table.

Example

Here's a query to obtain the Page title, Author, Date Created, Last Changed, and Last changed by whom:

SELECT   c.title,
         u.username AS Creator,
         c.creationdate,
         c.lastmoddate,
         um.username AS LastModifier
FROM     content c
JOIN     user_mapping u
ON       c.creator = u.user_key
JOIN     user_mapping um
ON       c.lastmodifier = um.user_key
WHERE    c.prevver IS NULL
AND      c.contenttype = 'PAGE'
AND      c.content_status = 'current'
ORDER BY title;

SELECT c.TITLE, 
       u.username as Creator, 
       c.CREATIONDATE, 
       c.LASTMODDATE, 
       um.username AS LastModifier
FROM confluence.dbo.CONTENT c 
JOIN confluence.dbo.user_mapping u ON c.CREATOR = u.user_key 
JOIN confluence.dbo.user_mapping um ON c.LASTMODIFIER = um.user_key 
WHERE  c.PREVVER IS NULL 
  AND c.CONTENTTYPE = 'PAGE' 
  AND c.CONTENT_STATUS = 'current'
ORDER BY TITLE;

SELECT c.title,
       u.username AS Creator,
       c.creationdate,
       c.lastmoddate,
       um.username AS LastModifier
FROM confluence.CONTENT c
JOIN confluence.user_mapping u ON c.creator = u.user_key
JOIN confluence.user_mapping um ON c.lastmodifier = um.user_key
WHERE c.prevver IS NULL
  AND c.contenttype = 'PAGE'
  AND c.content_status = 'current'
ORDER BY title;

Which provides output like this::

       title       | creator |      creationdate       |       lastmoddate       | lastmodifier

The query can be modified to filter the results by spaces. Replace the spacekey values in the query below (Space keys starting with ~ are indicating personal spaces):

SELECT s.spacekey,
       c.title, 
       u.username AS Creator, 
       c.creationdate,
       um.username AS LastModifier,
       c.lastmoddate
FROM content c
JOIN spaces s ON c.spaceid = s.spaceid
JOIN user_mapping u  ON c.creator = u.user_key 
JOIN user_mapping um ON c.lastmodifier = um.user_key
WHERE c.prevver IS NULL 
  AND c.contenttype = 'PAGE' 
  AND c.content_status = 'current'
  AND s.spacekey IN ('SPACE1','SPACE2','AndSoOn...')
ORDER BY spacekey,title;

SELECT s.SPACEKEY,
       c.TITLE, 
       u.username AS Creator, 
       c.CREATIONDATE,
       um.username AS LastModifier,
       c.LASTMODDATE
FROM confluence.dbo.CONTENT  c
JOIN confluence.dbo.SPACES  s ON c.SPACEID = s.SPACEID
JOIN confluence.dbo.user_mapping u ON c.CREATOR = u.user_key 
JOIN confluence.dbo.user_mapping um ON c.LASTMODIFIER = um.user_key
WHERE c.PREVVER IS NULL 
  AND c.CONTENTTYPE = 'PAGE' 
  AND c.CONTENT_STATUS = 'current'
  AND s.SPACEKEY IN ('Space1','Space2','AndSoon')
ORDER BY s.SPACEKEY, c.TITLE;

SELECT s.spacekey,
       c.title, 
       u.username AS Creator, 
       c.creationdate,
       um.username AS LastModifier,
       c.lastmoddate
FROM confluence.CONTENT  c
JOIN confluence.SPACES s ON c.spaceid = s.spaceid
JOIN confluence.user_mapping  u  ON c.creator = u.user_key 
JOIN confluence.user_mapping um ON c.lastmodifier = um.user_key
WHERE c.prevver IS NULL 
  AND c.contenttype = 'PAGE' 
  AND c.content_status = 'current'
  AND s.spacekey IN ('Space1','Space2','AndSoon')
ORDER BY s.spacekey, c.title;

Page Links

If you'd like to include the normal link to the page (not the short link), you can add this column to the select query:

       CONCAT  ('your_base_url','/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=', c.contentid) AS "URL"

You will need to replace your_base_url with your actual base URL (no trailing slash '/'), for example:

SELECT c.title, 
       u.username  AS Creator, 
       c.creationdate, 
       c.lastmoddate, 
       um.username AS LastModifier, 
       CONCAT  ('https://wiki.example.com','/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=', c.contentid) AS "URL"
FROM   content c 
       JOIN user_mapping u 
         ON c.creator = u.user_key 
       JOIN user_mapping um 
         ON c.lastmodifier = um.user_key 
WHERE  c.prevver IS NULL 
       AND c.contenttype = 'PAGE' 
       AND c.content_status = 'current';

SELECT c.TITLE,
       u.username AS Creator,
       c.CREATIONDATE,
       um.username AS LastModifier,
       c.LASTMODDATE,
       'https://wiki.example.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(10), c.CONTENTID) AS URL
FROM confluence.dbo.CONTENT c
JOIN confluence.dbo.SPACES  s ON c.SPACEID = s.SPACEID
JOIN confluence.dbo.user_mapping u ON c.CREATOR = u.user_key
JOIN confluence.dbo.user_mapping um ON c.LASTMODIFIER = um.user_key
WHERE c.PREVVER IS NULL
  AND c.CONTENTTYPE = 'PAGE'
  AND c.CONTENT_STATUS = 'current';

SELECT c.title,
       u.username AS Creator,
       c.creationdate,
       um.username AS LastModifier,
       c.lastmoddate,
       CONCAT('https://wiki.example.com','/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=', c.CONTENTID) AS URL
FROM confluence.CONTENT c
JOIN confluence.SPACES s ON c.spaceid = s.spaceid
JOIN confluence.user_mapping u ON c.creator = u.user_key
JOIN confluence.user_mapping um ON c.lastmodifier = um.user_key
WHERE c.prevver IS NULL
  AND c.contenttype = 'PAGE'
  AND c.content_status = 'current'

The result set will look something like this:

       title       | creator |      creationdate       |       lastmoddate       | lastmodifier |                              URL
