Purpose of this article
The purpose of this article is to provide SQL queries meant to retrieve the number of projects using each workflow in the Jira application.
Environment
Jira Server/Data Center on any version from 8.0.0.
Solution
For MySQL
Run the following SQL query (note: This query is written in MySQL syntax. You will have to change the syntax to run on another DB)
select wse.workflow, count(p.pname) as `Total number of projects that use this workflow`
from nodeassociation n
inner join project p on p.ID = n.source_node_ID
inner join workflowscheme ws on ws.ID = n.SINK_NODE_ID
inner join workflowschemeentity wse on wse.scheme = ws.ID
where n.source_node_entity = 'Project' and n.sink_node_entity = 'WorkflowScheme'
group by wse.workflow
order by workflow;
For PostgreSQL
Run the following SQL query (note: This query is written in PostgreSQL syntax. You will have to change the syntax to run on another DB)
select wse.workflow, count(p.pname) as "Total number of projects that use this workflow"
from nodeassociation n
inner join project p on p.ID = n.source_node_ID
inner join workflowscheme ws on ws.ID = n.SINK_NODE_ID
inner join workflowschemeentity wse on wse.scheme = ws.ID
where n.source_node_entity = 'Project' and n.sink_node_entity = 'WorkflowScheme'
group by wse.workflow
order by workflow;
